    Bring back the shine on our first new to us camper (gel coat)

    P.s. the pads I have been using are the lake country 5.5*7/8 beveled edge cutting yellow pad. I tried a Meg's maroon 5" cutting pad which the mt300 seems like like a bit more due to the less overhang.

    Thanks Mike. Yea I've tried it a few ways (more product, less product), Meg's cutting pad vs the lake country pad. I seem to get the same effect. I spot tested an area using Meg's cutting product, then a Meg's polish and it turned out great. Hoping not to have to three step this however. What...

    Yea it is marine 31 heavy cut gel coat cleaner wax. I did one whole side and the front and got mixed results. I tested meguires ultra cut then a polish and it looks better so I'm thinking this may not have enough cut. Might try another one step like captains. Do I need to use a wool pad? My...

    I think iay have figured it out. I was doing 4-5 passes of left to right up to down and they may be tppany for gel coat. I think it was rubbing the gunk back on. Moved to 2-3 passes of same technique may have solved 70% of it.

    Bring back the shine on our first new to us camper (gel coat)

    Hello all, so I finally found time to do this. Camper is all washed and in the garage with my marine 31 heavy cur cleaner wax, lake country yellow foam pad, and Meg's MT300. I'm running into a few issues. Right out of the gate one of my lake country pads melted to the center of the Meg's 5"...

    What is the coating you speak of? It is winter here now and everything is in the barn. No update yet. I just received my needed products to start polishing in the coming weeks. Seeing the results of the spray and forget I am a little unsure as to how to proceed. In test spots it is doing...

    Me too. I was intrigued by something this weekend. I bought some products to hopefully remove mold on the caulk (if anyone has some ideas let me know). So far those Mr. Clean erasers are working decent. I have some stuff called spray and forget that I use on the vinyl siding of my house when any...

    What is your process for washing/drying? Not sure what you meant here: I may not run it into the filter but the other way around if you insist on the filter.

    Bring back the shine on our first new to us camper (gel coat)

    How many times a year would I use such a product (cleaner/wax)? Reason I ask is, the Gel-Coat like clear is only so thick. Using an abrasive with a heavy cut, how many years before I cut away the entire coating? I know you explained in your complete guide that clear is about as thick as a...

    Those pictures are after it was washed extensively and some sort of a liquid coating applied(the detailer called it). The claim was that my gel coat was too far gone to recover so they didn't want to spend any time buffing, polishing, compounding, as the claim was it would be dull again in 3...
