The Gelcoat on my boat is badly oxidized. Other then old fashion elbow grease and rubbing compound, is there any miracle ways to rid your boat of this stuff. On top of it all, my boat doesn't have a trailer so it is kept in the water. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ron

Re: HELP with removing oxidization

I used Poliglow with great success. you just have to remove all oxidaton beforehand.Its kind of expensive but worth every penny. depending on how bad it is you will have to wetsand with 1000grit sandpaper. or you can do the old buff and polish every 3 months setup,alot of work. Do a search of poliglow and they have some before and after pics on google and on this site.
