Clear Coat or Gel Coat

[gilly]

only clear coat as a last resort if it can't be fixed by buffing. if your boat is metal flake and isn't too bad, you can buff out the haze with compound. if it's gel, you can fix pretty bad stuff the same way.

This stuff works great, makes it look like a new boat and lasts a full season. After the initial application, it doesn't take much to make it look new again. It's so easy, just wipe it on, no buffing. I still use this on my boat.
