Does anyone have any advise on how best to treat the hull gelcoat where there is mild oxidation? What products work to polish this out?

Thanks

Oxidation can be removed with Tcut, the normal red bottle used on cars. It can take a lot of work depending on how bad it is. If bad it will never match the original colour but should come up fairly well and nice and shiny regardless.

Once Tcut has been used you need to apply a UV protecting wax, many are available and as Vantage Sailing, I do hold some in stock, it's not on our website though. If you do need some from us then get in touch, otherwise your local chandlery should have something available.
