Gel Coat Heavily Oxidated? Follow This Process!
Check out how we helped customer Mike Murphy deal with his heavily Oxidated gel coat.
If the gel coat is heavily oxidated follow this process
1.) Firstly you would need your rotary buffer along with a double sided white wool pad.
If you're in the market for a new rotary polisher, I strongly recommend using the Flex 24V as listed below, it's a fairly large investment, but it provides top-tier quality and has an excellent shelf life. Flex also offers a lifetime warranty for this when registered.
To start the cutting process you would use these products with Level-R to remove scratches, heavy oxidation, and chalk.
2.) Once that's applied, you would move up to our medium cut compound, Elevate.
That would also be paired with a rotary and a YELLOW wool pad.
Elevate eliminates any of the scratches and most of the swirls left behind by the heavy cut compound.
3.) And the last step is to apply our primary polisher Triple P to your vessel with your DA buffer.
It's strongly recommended to pair this with the Starke Money Pad to polish away the remaining defects to the gel coat and provide a fantastic high-gloss finish.
4.) With the amount of use you have with your boat, I'd also recommend using our Hyper Hold Pro sealant
This gives you an extended timeframe for UV protection compared to standard waxes, which in turn improves the longevity of the gelcoat after its been restored; as the sun is what will cause chalk and oxidation.
You can apply this with your DA as well with a microfiber pad.
