Gel coat is VERY hard so if you do decide to wet sand it, finish out with the highest grit possible.
Depending on the severity of the oxidation, you might be able to get away with compounding it. I would give
Marine 31 Gel Coat Heavy-Cut Oxidation Cleaner a try. Pair it with a wool pad on a high speed rotary polisher and you`ll remove the oxidation in no time.
Follow up with
Marine 31 Gel Coat Final Step Polish to further refine the surface and to maximize gloss. Protect the finish with
Marine 31 Gel Coat Carnauba Wax + Sealant. This will provide durable protection along with a glossy, slick finish.
There are no short cuts with boat detailing. It`s going to be a ton of work, but having the right products will make it a heck of a lot easier.
