I feel that there should be a great deal of value placed on the quality of the original non-skid. Once that is no longer possible to be restored it really doesn't matter what you do. You just have a hunk of plastic I can keep making look like a Whaler.

That said, what would your alternative be to a factory non-skid? I've seen all sorts of Whaler "restorations" and I am rarely impressed.

It's too bad people don't keep their photos online forever because I have seen some very nice Line X Whalers. Would I Line X a viable restoration? Hell no, but here is one example that does impress me>>>
