Default Re: Gelcoat halo

a high speed buffer and 3m diamond cut polishing compound(black bottle) usually does the trick. we used it quite a bit at the marina i used to work at to buff out where decals where removed, you might end up doing the entire boat to make the shine match. fairly low speed(1000-1500rpm) and take your time but keep it moving usually does the trick.

What will most likely take place is this. You will still see the outline for a while. The more the boat is out in the sun the less the outline will show. After a while it will disappear. Sun in this case is your friend and not the enemy.

The above comment on buffing is the right way to do it.
