The deck of my 1995 Pintail, which I bought used & have owned for just a few yrs, looks new. The hull is shiny except for the usual scratches. I swipe it with Formula 303 when I think of it and store it under a carport. After upgrading to glass I will never go back to plastic. After (almost) completing my first S & G kit I have realized that glass is almost infinitely fixable.
