The Sun has taken a toll on my Cougar’s fiberglass finish. The once glossy mirror finish turned to an ugly dull chalky white. The white chalky appearance is a result of oxidation of the gel coat. Luckily, there is a way to restore the glossy finish.
It took me a couple weeks of trying different methods, but I finally found a way to restore the finish. The process I used on my camper would work just as well on a fiberglass boat too.

Products I used:
- Meguiar's Marine/RV One-Step https://amzn.to/3bz7xjT
- 7” buffer https://amzn.to/2ZiiuRI
- Medium 100% Wool Pad and Backing https://amzn.to/2EZNYW9
- Mother’s Back to Black https://amzn.to/2Fe01Pi
**I used this Harbor Freight Polisher https://www.harborfreight.com/7-in-10... but the one on amazon I linked to above looks to be very similar if you don’t have a Harbor Freight nearby.**

Process:
- Work in 1 small area at a time about 3’ x 3’
- Apply compound to wool pad
- Dab on fiberglass
- Spread with buffer before turning on
- Start on low speed and evenly spread compound over area
- Increase speed to 75% and buff until compound is almost all gone
- Lightly buff with cotton towel to remove remaining compound
Tips:
- Don’t hold buffer in 1 place to long to avoid damaging finish
- Stay off decals as much as possible
- Make sure to stay off weight and tire info decals, they fade out very quickly
- Shine rubber trim pieces back up with Mother’s Back to Black
