Well the contender I bought a few years ago had some oxidation so I figured I would DIY the job and same some cash.
I bought the shurehold system complete with their compound last year.
It definitely works well and it was a lot of work but it brought the dark gel coat back to life.

Fast forward to 2012 and I am back to oxidized gelcoat again and in doing a little research I tried the product below.
This 3m stuff worked much better and I used less of it.
It cut through the oxidation and it took me about 1/2 as long to apply and remove it.
Just passing this along to anyone who is in the same boat.
A coat of wax will follow to see if I can get it protected even longer between polishing.
