Wash the surface with Star brite Boat Wash to remove dirt and grime. Apply a small amount of Star brite Liquid Rubbing Compound to the surface with a clean, dry cloth. Rub in a circular, overlapping motion with firm pressure while the compound is wet. Rotate the application cloth frequently to prevent reapplication of removed oxidation. Let dry until a haze appears and then buff with another clean, dry cloth. Do a small area at a time to ensure uniform cleaning. Several applications may be necessary to totally restore the finish. If using an electric buffer, be careful not to apply too much pressure, which can burn the surface. After original color and luster have been restored, it is recommended that the surface be sealed and shined with a STAR BRITE polish.

Note:

All rubbing compounds are abrasive and can scratch gel coat, metal and painted surfaces: We suggest you first try Star brite Fiberglass Color Restorer & Sealer before using a rubbing compound. These products are much less abrasive and can usually restore moderately oxidized surfaces to a like-new condition.

Warning WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to P65Warnings.ca.gov.
