I have tried a lot of things on my boat. what is good product that will clear oxidized fiberglass surfaces? My next option is going to be a new paint job. all my covers have ripped apart from weather. the boat is a 97' but only has 181hrs. paint not so good. I will take pics of it and post to if that would help. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by Autotunner69 on March 16, 2008)

If the gel coat is really faded badly, then you might need to wet sand and buff it. If you do a search on here there is lots of good information on how to do it.

The boat improvement show Ship Shape TV restored a severely oxidized boat with Poliglow. I would try this before going to the extreme of wet sanding. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.poliglow-int.com/" target="_blank">http://www.poliglow-int.com/</a>

First thing I would try... buff the boat w/ some 3M Finesse it. I've had success with it on mildly oxidized gelcoat. Post up a pic of your gelcoat, and we can probably steer you which way to go.

I just did this last weekend and it worked great. Get a bunch of 800 grit wet sandpaper and 2000 grit. Dig in with the 800, grab a fresh sheet frequently, and don't be scared. Next go over it with 2000 grit the same way. Next, buff with oxidation remover (I used Maguires heavy oxidation remover)--this will remove anything that's left, and buff out the sandpaper marks. Finally, buff with boat polish. I was sore all week from all of the sanding, but my boat (black supra that's been oxidizing since 1992) looks like new now. Last year, I tried just going with the buffer and oxidation remover, without much luck. Don't be afraid of the sandpaper, gelcoat is pretty thick.
