When polish is enough vs. when you need restoration
Full Exterior Polish is best when the gelcoat still has some gloss and color, but looks dull, hazy, or tired up close.
If your gelcoat is chalky, very flat, or badly faded, you'll likely need a more aggressive Oxidation Removal / Gelcoat Restoration first, then polish and protect.
