I found a new compound to take the oxidation off the fiberglass and bring up the shine - it is called Flitz - I am impressed with it and easy to apply. Made my old fiberglass look 20 years younger

I've never heard of or seen Flitz, is it found in boat shops or supermarkets? It seems most of these good products come and go, I'd found that a product called PROTEC FIBERGLASS SEALANT would last all season, the gel coat really stayed white and shiny. Now I haven't been able to find the product around here in years. It's really hard to keep a white boat from turning yellow around here if the gelcoat doesn't have a good sealer.

Flitz has been around for a long time...GREAT STUFF!!...for metal and fiberglass...great cleaning product, but if a SEALER is needed, hard to outrun wax and elbow grease:clap:

I saw it on Shipshape tv last summer. It looked like good stuff. Did you buy the kit with the applicator and all? Have you tried it on eisen glass and aluminum trim?

It'll work wonders on the aluminum, but I'd have to read the label again and maybe call 1-800-FLITZ before rubbin' it on eisenglass...there are some excellent eisenglass cleaners and scratch removers out there...

Ok, back to the question at hand... Flitz is freakin' unbelievable!!!! It works on almost anything. We use it here to shine brass, stainless, aluminum, and fiberglass. I think it works on litteraly anything. I'm not sure about using it on eisenglass though.

The only thing I found with the Flitz is that if you've been polishing any metals with it, be careful not to let the rag apply anything onto the gelcoat. When you do use it on the gelcoat, use a clean rag. When polishing the metals, the rag tends to get that black oxidation residue on it, then that can get on your gelcoat making more work for yourself.

Isn't Flitz the stuff that you can buy the polishing balls(red) that mount to a drill, if so I saw it used on eisenglass on the boat repair tv show, had separate red balls for metal like CB said

That's the stuff Willy. You can just buy it in the little toothpaste type tubes too. Definitely use seperate rags for different materials....DUH. :)
