Gel Coat Scratches

Post by JimOMartin »

Hi -
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to repair (or at least hide somewhat) some of the scratches on the sides from tree branches, etc.? Thanks.

Don't go real heavy with the compound. I opened my truck door and ran the corner of it on mine. Took some Maguires Gold on and took them out. Gel gloss (picked mine up at camping world) works well on those type of scratches also.
