CHAPTER 7

Use a mild detergent such as dishwasher powder or liquid. Do not use

automatic dishwasher detergent. Avoid any kind of alkaline cleaners

such as trisodium phosphate (TSP), abrasives, bleaches and ammonia.

For best results use cleaners that are recommended for ﬁ berglass.

NOTICE

WIRE BRUSHES, SCOURING PADS, OR OTHER

ABRASIVE TYPE MATERIALS AND SOLUTIONS

SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON THE HULL

OR DECK OF YOUR BOAT.

THEY CREATE SMALL SCRATCH MARKS

THAT WILL COLLECT MARINE GROWTH

AND OTHER FOREIGN MATERIALS.

It is recommended that you wax the gelcoat surface twice yearly to

prevent loss of gloss and to protect the ﬁ nish. Use only waxes for

ﬁ berglass and follow the label instructions. Apply a 3’ x 3’ section at

a time using clean applicator cloths or a bufﬁ ng bonnet. When a haze

develops, use a power buffer at low speeds (1200-2000 rpm) to remove

the haze. Keep the buffer moving to avoid heat buildup. The power

buffer is very efﬁ cient at removing contaminants from gelcoat. Never

wax gelcoat in the direct sun.

When the washing and waxing as recommended does not restore the

shine it may be necessary to use a ﬁ ne rubbing compound. Do not ap-

ply rubbing compound in direct sunlight. A power buffer at low speed

does an excellent job to remove impurities from the gel coat that cause

dulling. Use light pressure and keep the buffer moving. Re-wax after

compounding to buff the surface.

“Hairline cracks” or “spider webbing” could develop in the gelcoat

surface of a hull or deck. This can be caused by impact or other fac-

tors. Small air pockets or gouges may also occur through normal wear.
