In Response To: Re: 40 year old gelcoat *LINK* (Capt. Dave Kosh)

I used the 3M Marine Fiberglass Cleaner and Wax, 3M part # 09010 on the hull sides of my B20 Bahia and it worked great. A cream with a light compound in it, comes in a quart bottle from Worst Marine. Apply with a flat bonnet on an orbital buffer, let dry, wipe excess of with a towel, then buff out with a terry cloth bonnet on the orbital buffer. Brings the color back like new. The polyglow is the best for topsides that are heavily oxidized, but usually the hull sides are not so bad and the 3M does the trick.
