Fiberglass boat paint help....
Decided to sell my bass boat earlier this year so I dropped it off at a local dealer (BIG mistake) as I didn't want to deal with it. So it's sat out in the sun for the first time and the solid blue on top now has a white "chalky" appearance. What's a good way to approach this? Regular old car care products? Thanks!

I'd give something like this a try first, and if it sufficiently addresses the oxidation that you have, follow it up with some boat wax to shine her up nicely.

I've always used regular auto polishing compound for gelcoat or paint.. Don't need to spend extra $$ on "marine" compound. That collonite is great wax. I've always used Starbrite or 3m wax.

3M compound for severe oxidation, and 3M Finesse-It for light oxidation and polishing.
On & Off is primarily for waterline/algae/rust staining as it's mainly hydorchloric/phosphoric/oxalic acid.
