Features 

- Removes swirl marks even on difficult dark-colored gelcoats 
- Can be used to cut, polish and wax in one step, reducing time and expense 
- Formula provides longer wet time for extended product life and easier cleanup 
- Suitable for non-silicone-sensitive gelcoat surfaces including marine, caravans and industrial 
- This gelcoat polish leaves a smooth, high gloss wax finish even on dark-colored gelcoats, and it protects the gelcoat surface against weathering.
- The polish, which is suitable for environments not sensitive to silicone, has a long wet time, allowing you to use it longer before you need new material. You use less product even in warmer climates, yet it handles well and does not clog on the buffing pad. 
- The formula also includes a wax coating which helps protect the gelcoat surface from the elements and reduces the need for further waxing. The combined benefits of a polish and waxes in one product mean you spend more time relaxing on your boat out on the water and less time detailing it. Enjoyment is what having a boat is all about.
