Different compound grades are made for removing the scratches left by different grit papers and at the end the glaze added a lot of depth to the gel on mine. That thread was kind of like a "gel coat restoration for dummies" since I had never done it before and got a bunch of help from the guys over there.

Just an update, boat is complete and looks amazing. Pyro, I took your advice I'm glad I did. My previous post I don't know what I was thinking. I guess after rereading yours a couple times and letting it sink in it makes since. I did the bow like you explained and I'm way happier with how much less work it was. boat looks amazing. I used 3m super duty, 3m finesse, Meguiar's #7 glaze, and collinite #885. I have to say I don't like the collinite simply because of the effort involved. The results though were amazing. But it never really seemed to dry or haze. I just rubbed for ever it seemed, then wiped off. Thank you all for your insight. This being my first, I didn't think I could make the boat look this good.

I did the same steps has you for my STV and man what a difference it made. the only thing I had troubles with was the wax it seemed to stick to the boat. I had to wash it off a few times after and it took care of the problem.

After the 3M compound, finish with their FinesseIt product, it's great.

yup but with the finessIt make shure to turn the recomended speed. I went slower and it did not turn out the way I wanted it did not have that deep shine that everyone was saying I had to redue the entire boat and then it turned out nice.
