Removing Oxidation

Post by CSMarine »

Anyone have a suggestion for product to remove oxidation from jelcoat. Not that it bothers me that much. It's on a little 13' creek boat that gets fairly rough treatment anyway. However my wife seems to think the fish are embarrased to swim anywhere the boat because it has a little oxidation on it. ;-) Make it look too good, and I might be scared to drag it in and out of the oyster bars like I do now. I'll humor her and try and polish it up a little. Please don't recommend anything thats going to make me sweat much. :smt005 Thanks.

Is the sweating method available at Wal-Mart, Auto Parts Store, etc. Or do you have to get it at a Boat dealer?

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Tried a couple hull cleaners (Starbrite being one) rubbing compounds, and waxes with no luck so far.

Hey Chalk, went out to the shed and dug around. Guess what I found? a half can of the stuff you recommended. I must have used it some time ago, don't remember it, but there is still a half can left. I'll try it when I get home Sunday.
