[QUOTE="weweber3, post: 417614, member: 21362"] Last night I removed the registration stickers and numbers. There were 3 Ohio registration stickers on the boat... 2008, 2001, and 1980. Wasn't able to save more than the "8", but there was definitely a "0" next to it. I also removed rear red reflector stickers from the rear and the rear corner caps. Then I removed what I am calling the "bow cap", not sure if that it what it is called. I cannot tell if it was an aftermarket part or not. You can see in the pictures the standard "bow handle" is under the bow cap. The fit is perfect so I am leaning towards a factory addition. Finally, I tested some 400 grit on the aluminum rail to clean it up, seemed to work very very well. Did not leave any scratches on the rail. Is this the best approach to bring aluminum back to a reasonable level of shine/newness? [/QUOTE]
