Is This Oxidation?

Just saw this thread. I replied to your one in General. I thought it was something similar to Poli, but it sounds worse.

Everyone is steering you right with the thinner.

After you get a section done then try to hit it with the buffer and see what she does. If No shine then wetsanding looks like it will be on your menu.

Sorry to hear about what the previous owner did. Sounds like he's a pledge furniture polish on fiberglass kind of guy. :smt100
 
I think wet sanding may be the way to go, but I am not to sure that I want to take sand paper to my boat. It scares me
 
All you should need is 800 or 1000. Keep it wet and you'll be fine. Keep it flat and go slow working in small areas. Time consuming but well worth the end result.

Donnie, Leverage vs 3M vs Meguires vs all others... What makes the Leverage product better? Not being a dink, just curious...

Has anyone used the Leverage products here on the board? (Sorry for the HiJack)
 
Not to defend Poliglow but I've had good luck with it. I know it's not for everyone but it does work and takes my maintenance down to almost zero. I'm using it because I just do not have the time to use conventional methods. I owned an auto detailing shop at one time and still keep my cars looking like new but the boat is just too much. If you ever need to remove Poliglow you can use their Poliprep and just spray it and wipe it down then wash the area to remove the prep.

You have a clear coat from a spray can which can be removed by lacquer thinner as others have mentioned and any areas which may be thicker than other can be wetsanded out. If you wetsand you will need to machine polish afterwards to get the sanding marks out and brighten up the gelcoat.
