hi, I was wondering if the 3m marine rubbing compound will take out any minor scratches on a 2010 laser, without having to re-hull coat the hull. Does anyone know if it will?
 
depends on the scratches.

minor defect may be able to be rubbed out. Slightly worse you wet sand with 1000 grit paper to get the worst then rub with rubbing compound.

Coarser initial wet sanding if the scar is deeper, then the 1000, then the rubbing.

you can do this until you go all the way through the gel coat. at that point you have to apply new gel coat or paint.

Sometimes you are better off leaving the scratch in the gel coat.

Pictures of the scratch with a quarter beside it will give a good reference to how bad it is.
