I have looked through the threads here and there are hit and miss posts about restoring gel coat.
I have a boat with a very nice gel job but the finish looks like there was clear applied at one point. In some places the gel has a white haze and some flaking like a car with bad clear.
I am thinking of this to fix the issue. I know there is a guy on here that has much experience and a shop that does this sort of work. Maybe I can get a thumbs up on this.
First wash it with a good cleaner to get any water spotting off of it.
Then with a mild scotch brite get the flaking off of the finish and any other residue.
Then with wet paper maybe 1200 or so work the finish smooth
Run to Harbour Fright and get a polisher and some wool pads from the auto refinishing place down the way and start to polish. This is where I am breaking new ground. I have never buffed something. I have helped but never run the buffer. I will continue to read these posts to see if someone put some details on this procedure.
If the finish is not nice the only thing I can think of would be wet sand the entire hull fix any scrapes and chips with matching gel and if there is such a thing clear gel coat the entire hull. That just sounds like a ton of work.
I am going to wash it this weekend to see where all the issues are and get some pics up here to get some advise.
Hope someone can help me.
