Re: Most agressive compound for Gelcoat?

I agree with others, once a gel coat gets porous, it makes waxing very difficult, it tends to absorb the product and takes a lot of effort to remove the residue.
you pretty much cant wax gelcoat unless you remove most if not all of the oxidation.

A little trick I use if the gelcoat keeps sucking up the wax after numerous passes with compound and polish, I will add some polish (more like a glaze) to the wax, seems to help from staining.

Has anyone used Meguiars new compound yet? It seems to be like M105 but for gelcoat.
