Gelcoat buffing/sanding question
Question for the experts. The deck of my boat needs a little work. Its hard to explain its condition. After a nice wax, it the surface looks flat and shiny, however, when you look deeper into the finish, it looks chalky underneath it, if that makes any sense. So if you look at the deck from a angle, it looks good. But if you stood on the deck, and look directly down into the finish, you see the chalkyness, or maybe its a combination of dirt, oxidation, etc, under the finish.
So, would a heavy compound or wet sanding then buffing bring back that deep luster?

It is hard to tell from the picture but it looks like a good wet sanding and polishing would bring that deck back very nicely. The colors dont look to faded and the white doesn't look to bad either.

Results were spectacular, so it was worth it. Are you sure there's enough winter left to tackle that 38!??!
