I would really suggest finding some of that superduty, it works wonders on gelcoat. Just a few days ago I was able to bring back a 9 year old boat that was oxidized beyond belief (kept in the ocean for all its life and never waxed or anything) with 2 or 3 passes with the rotary and a wool pad. You can find 3M marine stuff at any west marine store. (I don't think dacp will cut that oxidation) As for price I really couldn't help you much there I work for the sales department of a boat dealership so I just recondition used boats and such, I believe however we charge around $300 for a basic detail for a boat of that size, and if the customer pays for supplies all the better. Good luck
