Yeah, it’s a bit more savage than routine cut and polish though, trying to get back to the original dark shade without going too hard on the gel coat is brain ache. I wish I had never started, just lived with it. Ive been using 320 grit, its a case of rubbing it a bit, rinsing off then going again then going over it with 600,1000, 1500 ad nauseam. I’ve probably got a days worth left but no days to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was warned off of it by a boat renovator who reckons it does long term damage and leaves a sticky coating. I must say I was surprised to hear that after your glowing review.

It’s all cosmetic though so I don’t know why I’m bothered too much. Anyway, this is Martin’s post please stop hijacking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't seem to do my hull any harm, after I used it I polished the hull as normal I will be looking at it very closely on Saturday and report back Surely there would have been extensive testing on gel coat before it was put on the shelves ?
