Sorry if this topic has been covered before as I am new to the
internet and boating in general.

I recently purchased a 24' boat that has what I assume is chalking of
the gel coat from exposure to the sunlight.

I did a google search for a way to remove the chalking and it seems
that a thorough use of rubbing compound is the recommended way.

Just wondering if there was an easier way as I don't get very much
time off from work and would like to spend that little time enjoying
my boat on the water.

Blow it off until Winter, and take care of it then?

I would love to, but I live in Northern Ohio and the winters here in
the snow belt are really pretty nasty. Last year, after I bought the
boat in the fall, I stored it through the winter in a controlled
climate limestone mine. No access to the boat there unfortunataely.

I have been browsing a lot this evening and found some comments on
using Penetrol to remove the chalking. Sounds easy and quick. However
if that is a bad choice, any thoughts would be appreciated before I do
something incredibly stupid in my haste.

John S
