My boat was starting to get mud/dirt marks on the white fiberglass and skuffs from the trailer. So, I bought the Meguiars fiberglass restoration system and went through the steps last weekend. The boat looks brand new. Don't get me wrong, it took about 3 hours or more to do, but it was well worth the time and $50 to buy the kit. I am going to do this annually from now on, with at least the polish and wax, maybe not the oxidation remover.

 

Any other good tips for fiberglass care? I wipe down the boat every time I pull out of the water, store indoors, etc.

 

 

Thx for posting this. I'm curious as well.

Just a question that's related to this; would a magic eraser be helpful in taking off light scuffs and marks that the wipe down couldn't handle in between annual cleanings and waxes?

I think it would help at first, but have never tried it. I don't know if the cleaning agent would hurt the gel coat. The fiberglass restoration system included an "Oxydation Remover" which had some grit in it. It removed the skuff marks and mud stains with ease.

 

I also looked around yesterday and found the Meguiars fiberglass restoration system on Amazon for about half the price I paid at Gander Mountain. If you have a buffer, they sell buff pads and polish pads, too.
