Default Reviving gel coat in tight spaces.

I’m cleaning up my 272 Islander, and where the dash pad protected the gel you can clearly see how the exposed gel is yellowed. Itt would be impossible to get at with a large orbital, but hand rubbing Presta-cut just doesn’t do it.

What’s the best way to go at this area?

Btw, I’m only talking about bringing the exposed gel back up to snuff. What’s under the dash pad is just for comparison.

they make a small three inch buffer that can get in some pretty tight places.
