I am trying to revive the shine on my 1973 Ericson gel coat. It has oxidized badly and leaves a white chalk on everything. This is what I have done so far with disappointing results:
1. Washed fiberglass with TSP solution.
2. Wiped down with Acetone.
3. Rubbed/polished with automotive polishing compound.
4. Applied wax.
Results are less than stellar. Gelcoat is still dull and very porous. Can anyone recommend a product or technique to polish up old gelcoat? I am trying to avoid wetsanding the entire boat.
Thanks.
