the outside of my boat is dark green but very oxidized will this bring back the shine

I have sailboat with kind of brown color.At some point I used Poli Glow product which was crap. So I have to use Poli Glow remover to get a rid of it.Unfortunately during this process I damage the gelcoat. So my boat looks like yours. This and other products will bring the shine but it won't last long. Step number one would be removing the oxidation with different product. The UV radiation is brutal and the glossy look is fading away after few weeks.So this is my answer to your question. In long term I think the boat should be painted.

My boat is off white. I was more impressed with the cleaner than the wax. If the jell coat is gone it will never shine like it used to

No, this is just a wax. This company, however, does make a cleaner which may help with the oxidation.

You would need to use a product to remove the oxidation. Wax will only cover it up until it dries. 3m makes a good line of products for this.

This paint is not for below the waterline use. It's a tough paint though and if your boat is trailered and not kept in the water for extended periods it might do okay. I'd contact the manufacturer.

I'm sure you could do a small boat without a buffer and a lot of elbow grease, but mine was 21' with some pretty heavy oxidation and I wouldn't have wanted to do it without one. The Harbour Frieght DA Polisher is (~$60) is what I used with the Meguiars backing plate (W67DA - ~$20). Don't cheap out, if you get the polisher get the Meguiars backing plate and Meguiars pads...it's worth it. And the Meguiars pads are washable and reusable.

I have used it on my fiberglass motorcycle fairing and it works great. That said, I do not think that it is designed to remove accumulated oxidation...probably best to use some other type of mild abrasive product first...

I have treated the cover of my 17' bowrider boat twice now in three years and each time it took a full gallon to do the job correctly. I used a garden sprayer to apply it on a warm day. I live on a barrier island in North Carolina and my boat sits outside in the driveway in full sun year round.

It will remove it as well as any other. I like this product because it removes dark stains, and leave the hull original.

I use this on a 14 year fiberglass boat. the boat was either in the water or winter storage. it had quite a bit of oxidation on it. I bought a Makita buffer to buff out the boat. it was a lot of work. I am thinking I should have first got a very coarse grit buffing compound. one thing that worked well to get the grime off the boat was gel toilet bowl cleaner I bought at the dollar store. again with a project that old, I would get a very coarse buffing compound then perhaps followed up with this product. get on YouTube and see how they clean boats with this stuff, that's what I did. my project turned out the sort of okay with this product but it was a lot of work.

I use 10% bleach solution to clean mold off my boat cover, and I assume it would easily work here as well. Note that you should rinse it thoroughly after cleaning - that way it doesn't further erode the material. Good luck!

I would say if the black in the gel coat on a fiberglass boat, then no. If the boat has been painted with any epoxy or enamal paint, I would not think either

I tried it on a 24' pontoon boat that had quite a bit of oxidation and black water stains. After doing several feet of one pontoon I found it did remove some oxidation and stains but was nowhere like new aluminum. I'm searching for a product that does a better job.

It likely would...never tried it for that.DuraGloss has some cleaner/polishes that do this quite well. You might find them at a local auto parts. I get them at Car Quest. But the Meguiars probably would work for hardwater spots.

We painted the bottom of our cedar posts with this product last year and the small amount of green that was showing is not apparent anymore. Most of the green was below ground.

They show power washing a stained deck on the video on the Restore website - so my opinion would be yes - but I'm not an official restore person! I put the product over cement that was painted and it seemed to do fine!

I put it on oak trim and it didn't come out real dark.....I put 2 coats on that part. Hope this helps

I recall it was translucent. That was two years ago and I got rid of it because it didn't work on my boat.

In the 2 months since I applied this to some old pressure treated posts, the green has notably faded already. I suspect in the coming months and years it will become only subtly apparent, much like p.t. lumber does when exposed to sun and air. But probably even more faded since store-bought p.t. lumber has a lot more green chemical deep in the wood which slowly bleeds to the surface.
