Re: Gel Coat Oxidization Removal Advice Needed? Still lots to do on this boat but wanted to post a couple pictures and get some opinions. The faded blue is where the striping was. There is new striping going on there so it's not an issue. In another spot there are the similar lines where...

Re: Gel Coat Oxidization Removal Advice Needed? Just wanted to update that this is back on and I really found the stripes removal to be a pig of a job. I'm still working to get the leftover adhesive off, although I've finally got the hang of using the rubber wheel on the drill to remove the...

Is it possible to bring the shine back to dull marble (small pieces around the shower stall). It's also got orange hard water stains, any tips? I'll definitely be trying the steamer and brush on the shower ceramics, thanks!

Re: Gel Coat Oxidization Removal Advice Needed? Absolutely for the better. I quoted low for the entire job as a polish and stripe removal and after taking into account products and pads etc I wouldn't have made what I deserve for Labour. Thanks to all - many lessons learned!

My nightmare vehicles have always been Audi. If just the top of the lens is going but the rest of the coating is intact - but then again I've never done any Dodge or GM trucks. Some of my easier jobs have been VWs. I see the interior cracking that was pictured earlier all the time as...

Re: Gel Coat Oxidization Removal Advice Needed? Well I popped by and did a quick test spot using my 3401, Megs #4 one spot using purple foamed wool and did another spot using an orange pad - forgot my yellow and wanted to see the difference. I then used some Collinite 476s. The boat is...

Re: Gel Coat Oxidization Removal Advice Needed? The people here on this forum are the best! I'm getting the message loud and clear - rotary with wool pads! David: Great tip on doing a test spot to show what can be done with the one step and let the owner judge from themselves. If it...
