Surface
Restoration Lightly
oxidized gel coat - surfaces are washed and cleaned in preparation for polishing the surface. A premium wax is applied to seal the
gel coat, leaving it protected from future oxidation. Moderately
oxidized gel coat-will usually require a two step process. The first step is buffing with a
polishing compound to remove the oxidized surface and restore the gloss. Then a
premium wax is applied, sealing the gel coat and protecting the surface from
further oxidation. Heavily
oxidized gel coat-
requires a three step process. First we go over the boat with a cutting
compound designed to remove the oxidization and then we buff using a polishing
compound to remove swirls and restore the gloss. When choosing the cutting or polishing compound,
we start with the least abrasive material needed to get the job done. The final
step is the application of a premium wax to seal and protect the gel coat
surface.
