A little off topic, but if you plan on doing any gel coat restoration, I highly recommend the 3M Gel Coat Perfect It rubbing compound. This is a fairly new product so I didn't find many reviews on it before I tried it out, however I was very pleased with the results. I just finished buffing my new to me 1984 Montauk and the gel coat looks great for a boat of this age. The rubbing compound has a finishing material in it that leaves a great deep shine. I can send you some photos if you'd like.
