Can I wheel/rub out the gel-coat on my boat like how I have done on cars or is there going to be a problem here??

"if your one of those guys that do it a lot and know what your doing, you can do it,but if not careful you will burn the gel coat. I'm not that skilled so I use a random orbital buffer (10") thats the buffer for dummies and supposed to simulate your hand,works good for me.

this works well for me.

"Yep works like a dream...I use Autoglym Fine cut for the cut/polish and Starbrite with Teflon wax. Looks like new afterwords. No haze, no swirls just an even gloss finish"

"I like the starbrite non-skid deck cleaner with ptfe for no skid, then a coat of woody wax."

"I have had good luck restorin

"I have had good luck restoring my 35 year old gel wiht 3M's compound, Finesse it 2, and their Scotchguard wax."
 
"I have used a grinder buffer

"I have used a grinder buffer with 10" pad to apply 3M Perfect-It II Rubbing Compund liquid for medium oxidation. You can also apply it with an orbital hand polisher if in small spots or high reaching is required. The final process is 3M's Perfect-It II Finishing Glaze applied with a foam disk or hand applied with foam wax applicator. No wax is required after that but for added protection you can apply a Carnauba Wax yellow #2 grade. You'll be set for a year and very little if any return of oxidation. The key is once you compound, rub, scrub a gel coat you can leave fine scratches that will allow oxidation to form again once wax applied start to fade. The glazing helps retard that. Give it a try, I doubt you will be disapointed."
