Anyone have any thoughts on a Gelcoat Rejuvenator? The boat I recently purchased had spent most of its life in a lift where the sun hit one side harder than the other. I'ts not a real noticble feature since you can't see both sides of the boat at the same time but I know it's there. I stopped and talked to a Skipper Buds guy and he mentioned using a Gelcoat Rejuvenator so I thought I would throw it out there if anyone has any recommendations or have used this before. I have already gone over the boat with Mcguires from Med. to Light and than wax but I know that there is a better shine waiting to get out.

Have you used it yet? I am looking for a product to take some oxidation off the top of my boat.

This past weekend I used Meguiar's Flagship Marine wax (black bottle) to get some oxidation off. It took about 4 passes to get it done, but the oxidated areas are shining again.

Wax will get light oxidation off with several applications. If the oxidation is not too heavy, try using Buff Magic, then follow with wax/polish. It's easy to use, and does a nice job.

Heavy oxidation, try 3M Finesse It II, or 3M rubbing compound applied with a good buffer, followed by wax/polish of your choice.

I used this recently on my Navy/Gray 89 180 Horizon, and had amazing luck! I will be posting pics shortly of my results.

Its worth the $14 investment.
