Default To Awlgrip or not to Awlgrip...this is the question...

Travis,
I had a really old Mooney that was finished with Awlgrip that looked tired
when we bought it. I was thinking of having it refinished but a mechanic
friend said I should try polishing it out before I spent the money on the
Mooney. 25 year old paint...... three days of careful polishing (a few
raised rivet heads you know) and it looked nearly new. I am pretty sure
Imron can't be polished out that way and I'll bet the auto finishes won't
lastas long. Besides you can patch the Awlgrip.
Cheers!, Pete

I just took delivery of an RS-15 in dire need of a
face lift...excellent workmanship but packing in the
cosmetic side...

Whats the consensus on finishes? Awlgrip, Polyurethanes
or Epoxies?
