Steps to Remove Boat Oxidation, Minor Blemishes, and Discoloration

Apply Riptide Liquid Compound to gel coat surface with a wool pad and a rotary polisher set at 1500 to 1800 rpm
Apply medium pressure for the first 2 to 3 passes to allow the abrasives to cut effectively then reduce the pressure allowing the product to polish the surface.
Work a 2’ x 2’ section at a time and inspect area for desired results before moving to the next section.
Follow with Hang Ten Cleaner Wax to remove any swirls and achieve maximum gloss.
Optional step would be to preserve the finish with a coat of Big Kahuna Polymer Sealant

Customer Testimonials

After using the three part system (compound, hang ten wax, and sealant) I believe the name should be changed to time machine in a bottle! Thanks for creating such a wonderful product.

The product EXCEEDED my expectations! I had a side business through high school and after college for almost 10 years doing automotive detailing and car stereos and this 3 stage kit is by far the best, highest quality product I have come across. The Gel Coat full kit literally came with everything but a buffer. I cannot thank you enough for helping me to bring our 18 year old Malibu from “chimp to pimp” with a little elbow grease.

Your product smelled great leaving a clean smell as well as doing its job to clean the water spots.

Let me tell you, I was absolutely amazed at how well the products worked. I purchased the Riptide Liquid Compound, Big Kahuna Polymer Sealant and the Wipe Out. I am saddened that I did not get one of each of the products sold but alas there is always the internet! You have a customer for life.

I was hoping that the trio of your products (gel coat compound, boat wax, and polymer sealant) would at least help a little bit, but I was amazed at the results…as were others who watched us over the weekend. Some of whom asked which product I was using, which I was all too happy to share. I’m no professional, but I think Hula Boat Care at least made me appear like one!
