gel coat

Featured Replies

just wondering if there is anything out there that can bring back the color in my Ranger??? it looks like a milky haze on top of the gel coat...is there any products that work better than others???i tried sanding with 1500 wet and then buffing then waxing its better but not great...any suggestions would be great...

You probably didn't sand it enough to take the dead gel off.  If the gel is very thin to start with, you won't be able to get it back to new looking before it hits the metal flake, something you don't want to do.  

I would work a small area and wet sand it some more, then buff it out with a wool pad and 3M fine grit polishing compound with your buffer set at about 1,500 rpm.  You may have to do this a couple of time but when you get the results you're looking for, use the 3M foam polishing pad with their Machine Glaze.  It will look like a new boat.  Doing a small area first will give you an idea of how much you will need to sand to get the rest of the boat to shine.  I've done boats that were so dingey looking you would think they would never shine again but come out looking like new.   I will say this, it's a lot of work
