It is not a permanent fix but with basic maintenance it should last several years. The process described here is not recommended for new or well maintained Gelcoat. The restoration technique described applies to boat’s, RV’s (that do not have full paint) or any other “older” Gelcoat product (such as molded fiberglass bathtubs, etc.) that would be difficult or impossible to restore via traditional methods. In addition to the specialized products marketed for this type of restoration, I am also going to tell you where to get a much more cost effective alternative. This post talks about how we did it and describes a fairly easy and relatively long lasting way to restore old faded Gelcoat to a better than new shine. One of the long overdue projects we completed on our boat, Quantum Leap, this past summer of 2014 was restoration of the Gelcoat on the topsides (the deck areas).
