Don't waste your time. You don't rejuvenate Gel-coat, you remove the exposed oxidized layer and reveal new material plain and simple. Any product the just covers the oxidation without exposing new gel-coat isn't worth buying. Besides, the crazing isn't going to be fixed by this approach or what I recommend.


It's simple:

1. Buy some Aquabuff 1000 and 2000 grit (16 Oz size containers) from this link fbelow or Appx $19.00 (always use 1000 first then follow up with 2000 - you'll be amazed how well this product works.)

And

2. Go online or too you’re local Harborfreight store and buy the following:

http://www.harborfreight.com/9-inch-foam-buffing-pad-91235.html for Appx 7.00 ( get two one for the 1000 and 1 for the 200 grit)
and
http://www.harborfreight.com/7-inch-variable-speed-polisher-sander-92623.html for 35.00 (I have seen them sell it on sale for 29.00 though)


3.) Once done make sure you use a good wax to protect your efforts. I have used lots of different sealer and waxes in the past and have recently found this product that I really like.

For a total for about 75.00 you have enough material can make both boats look like new with just a few minutes work and little to no elbow grease.
