Well, like the title says, how do yall remove oxidation on non-skid deck surfaces? I tried using polish on my pc but it doesn`t really reach down between the non skid ridges on the deck surface. Thanks for the help!

Is this a boat deck?

non-skid deck could be anything coated with non-skid coating...patio, stairs, boat deck, etc. ;)
foam pads won`t flex enough to reach in...i bet wool would be best for this type of surface. the boat experts can step in now and help out. :)

thanks paradigm, I guess I figured the marine section would be about boats. I appreciate the clarification though. Maybe wool would work.
Now, where are those boat experts paradigm was talking about hahaha. Thanks again.

Looks like you need to gel-coat the deck.

Legacy, are you saying there is no way to remove oxidation from the deck? Also, if I tried to re-gelcoat the deck, wouldn`t the pasty form of gel coat fill in the ridges of the non skid deck? Thanks for your help.

I do this on a weekly basis. I just use LC Avenger wool pads with a rotary and compound. It works great.

Yea you have to use a rotary with a ton of wool pads. (I can go through 10 pads easily on a boat detail of average size of less than 30`) Use meguires oxidation remover. Very powerful product in a affordable range. A P/C or Foam pads of any kind just aren`t going to cut it on gelcoats.
