Hi, The pics show a front door. It will catch rain/snow lower down. Its about 20-25 feet from a somewhat busy street, passing at 30mph (speed limit). Good mix of light trucks, vans etc.. Salted/sanded in snow. By Spring there's a nice coating of gray dust on the porch.
The door was stripped and refinished about 5 years ago. I don't know what the finish is. Very shiny. In the first year or two I saw goobers/boogers of some sort: in the panel's crotches/angles of the door. Like something oozed(?) or ran. The boogers were not rock hard but not tacky either. More like dried but not cured, clear glue. The bottom pic kind of shows some tan stuff in the cracks.
The upper part of the door is still hi-gloss. The lower has much greater gray/dull/reaction. I rather buff it up to bring back a shine. Barring that I was thinking of Spar marine as de-gloss and recoat. Can anyone here can suggest a better/more durable solution? I'm open to anything.
thanks for your ideas!
