    Test spot - Boat Detailing - Gelcoat - B & B Detailing - Old Hickory TN

    Alright Gentlemen and Ladies..... Many questions asked about gelcoat turnarounds - well this is what I have to offer to my AGian brothers and sisters..... A quick video or two or three on the process I take to correct gelcoat. Please remember that this comes from proper technique and YES it is possible to damage gelcoat if not cut/polished properly! Either way, ENJOY!

    Great job! How many total hours will you have on this boat and how long will the final lsp last before you need to wax it again?

    Thanks for taking the time and effort putting this together.
    Would you use this same process on an RV?

    Can you give us a heads up on good product lines for Gelcoat. I'd think the Colenite #925 boat wax would be a good durable Boat Rv wax.

    Thanks again for all your help here on the forum!

    Awesome work Anthony! and of course thanks for the tips. Personally, I don't plan on working on any sort of gel coat anytime soon! But it's good to know that the videos are readily available.

    Thanks!

    Great vids!

    That should and will help a lot of people working on gel-coats. Especially if they notice the SLOW arm motion.

    Thanx for posting these...

    What's the names of the compounds used if you don't mind? Do you prefer foam over wool?
