BEFORE WAXING, PREP WITH FIBERGLASS RUBBING COMPOUND

Fibreglass Compound

Oct 27, 2020

Few things sparkle on the water like a freshly-waxed hull, but to get that showroom shine, preparing the surface is essential. Fiberglass Rubbing Compound from BoatLIFE® is the fastest and easiest way to make the gelcoat clean, smooth and ready for waxing without the backbreaking work.

Fiberglass Rubbing Compound reconditions the gelcoat as it removes oxidation, rust, tarnish, and other stains and imperfections. The compound has very fine particles that minimize surface loss, yet buffs to a high gloss without swirl marks.

Using BoatLIFE Fiberglass Rubbing Compound is simple. Working in small areas, apply it by hand or machine. Wipe off any dried compound before reapplying or waxing. In the US, a 16 oz. jar costs $25.53 USD.
