Archived from groups: alt>autos>kitcars (more info?)

The sun has given my fibreglass top a white bloom. If I buff an area very
heavily with a mechanical polisher and T-Cut and then polish it comes up
nicely. Trouble is, it's taking far too long as the gel coat seems to be
much harder than the paint finishes that the T-cut and polish are meant for.
Anyone know of better products / methods to get the shine back more quickly?
TIA, Pete.

3M used to make a heavy-duty compound that we used to buff out laquer after
sanding with 600 wet "back in the day". I would think you'll need something
like that & an electric or air buffer. Check your local autobody supply to
see what's still available.
