I have a fiberglass bass boat. this year i noticed the black gel coat is starting to turn white in areas and not shining anymore. i assume this is oxidation. Anyone have any good products to bring this back to life?

Location: Kodiak, AK		I'm a big fan of 3M products. Spendy, but they're what the pros use and they do the job extremely well.

And if you end up getting a wheel, get a variable speed wheel, and make sure it's a dedicated polishing wheel that runs in the proper RPM range. Too fast of a wheel or a wheel you can' easily control the speed and you can burn your gel coat.
