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.

Thanks in advance
Regards
John S

John,I sure hope you didn't follow suggestion #3.I would really feel
bad then.What you have to do on your boat is get an electric buffer
and a buffing compound,an auto parts place can tell you what you need
or a marine supply place(get a West Marine catalogue) or some of
those splendid boatyard people will do it for you for $200 more or
less.
