Product Description
Why you'll want it
- Brings back faded color and shine. It is designed to bring back the color and shine on faded, oxidized boat surfaces, including gelcoat and paint.
- Works by hand or with a buffer. Use a clean cloth by hand, or an electric buffer with light pressure so the surface does not burn.
- Fits a simple wash and shine routine. It is set up to work with Star brite Boat Wash and a Star brite polish, so the steps fit together.
- Get the finish ready before winter. Fall is a good time to work on faded paint or gelcoat before winter storage.
What it is
Star brite Liquid Rubbing Compound for Medium Oxidation is a liquid rubbing compound made by Star brite, sold in a 16 oz size. It is made for light to medium-duty oxidation removal on boats and other painted or gelcoat surfaces. The label carries a California Proposition 65 warning about chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
How to use it
- Start by washing the surface with Star brite Boat Wash to lift off dirt and grime.
- Put a little compound on a clean, dry cloth, then work it onto the surface.
- Rub in overlapping circles, pressing firmly while the compound is still wet.
- Turn the cloth often so you do not put removed oxidation back on the surface.
- Let it dry until a haze shows, then buff with a fresh, dry cloth.
- Work a small patch at a time for an even result.
- Several rounds may be needed to bring back the full finish.
- With an electric buffer, use light pressure so the surface does not burn.
- When the color and shine are back, seal and shine with a Star brite polish.
What else the job needs
Good to have on hand: Star brite Boat Wash to clean the surface first, and a Star brite polish to seal and shine the finish afterward. The product description names both as pairings. No additional items are specified in the product description.
