Best polish for a dull gel coat
What has everybody here used that worked well to spruce up a faded old gel coat?

Oh man, they covered this about a week ago instead of buffing.
I'll try to find it. What ever happened with the cabin doors?

Re: Best polish for a dull gel coat
Look at "cleanup time" under "repairs".

Re: Best polish for a dull gel coat
CHeck out the above referenced post. To sand or not to sand, that is the question. Even light fading on a dark gelcoat will require some level of sanding. If your talking aobut the v20 light gelcoat - oh heck, I'm a advocate of sanding anyway. 1000 grit up - nothing coarser unless the fade is severe. I paint cars on the side as a hobby. COlor sanding through the full range of sandpaper grits followed by polishing will produce factory results. It requires light elbow grease but its worth it in the end.

Re: Best polish for a dull gel coat
The other day when I was washing down the V after a day on the brine I was looking at a couple of new scratches on the side where the kids were holding the boat at the dock for me while I got the trailer and I thought, "Man I'm glad I don't have a nice new boat".
Scratches on a nice shiney boat are a bummer, scratches on a dull faded boat.......who cares.
