Anyone used this for fiberglass boats?

I've picked up a 20+ year old boat, with lots of oxidation, which I
unfortunately love. I've dubbed it "retrogrouch". I'm looking to do
some restoration it with this stuff.

If the boat is really heavily oxidized, the only way to restore the luster of the gelcoat is
to wet sand it until you get down to undamaged material. If the gelcoat is thin, this may not
be possible. If you want to try it, start with 320 or 400 grit then progress through 600, 800
and 1200, then buff it with polishing compound. You get like-new color and gloss.
