7.7. Corrective maintenance
7.7.1. Chalking
A fine rubbing compound as well as a mild detergent reduce the weathering and chalking accumulated
on the surface.
NOTICE
Do not apply rubbing compound in direct sunlight.
• Use only a fine grit compound and follow label directions carefully.
• For best result, wax after compounding.
7.7.2. Scratches and nicks
Most scratches and nicks can be removed by using a rubbing compound followed by waxing.
7.7.3. Stains
The most stains can be removed by washing with a mild detergent.
• For stubborn stains, use a tine abrasive household cleanser followed by waxing to restore
original luster.
• For non-water-soluble stains, such as grease, oil, and rubber heel marks, use a solvent such as
acetone, rubbing alcohol, toluene or xylene, followed by a mild detergent.
◦ If these solvents are not effective, try a rubbing compound or fine sanding followed by
waxing.
7.7.4. Deep marks, gouges and holes
Deep marks, gouges and holes should be repaired professionally.
Gelcoats can be well repaired by professionals, and in most cases the repair will be undetectable.
NOTICE
In cases where the damage has pierced the gelcoat layer, further exposure to
water or chemicals should be avoided.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in extensive and potentially costly
damage to the underlying laminate structure.
