Shurhold Buff Magic Compound - Ultimate Restoration for Oxidation & Rust | Buffing & Polishing Pads for Metal & Gelcoat, Pink - 4 lbs

The gelcoat on my boat was in terrible shape. I contacted a "professional" boat detailer and had him go take a look at the boat and asked for a quote on getting it back in shape. He told me that he would have to wet sand the gelcoat because it was in such bad shape. I was looking at thousands to have this done. I took my Makita buffer and ONE can of this stuff and spent about half a day buffing the boat. Once I started I couldn't stop. I saw the oxidation disappear with the first application and when I was done the boat absolutley gleamed! The dulll blue that was there was transformed into the original dark navy blue that had such a deep shine that even the dockmaster came over too ask me what I was using. He said he had seen other peoiple spend days and not get such a finish. He was so impressed that he asked me what I was using! It also worked like a miracle on my bimini top supports. I can't say enough good things about this product. It really is a miracle product! I'll attach pics later, you won't believe the difference. I'm not easily impressed with a product but trust me, this WORKS! Period! Oh yeh, I had some left over after buffing a 27 foot boat. Great buy!

This spring we were prepping our 30 foot black Rinker for launch. Up close the boat looked horrible from the heavy oxidation.We used 3 different compounds and many hours of work with our orbital polishers without decent results.A fellow boater told us about Shurhold Yacht Bright., he used it and was very happy with the results.We ordered a jar and were amazed at how at cut through the oxidation. It took time and a few passes but Shurhold broke most the oxidation down and allowed us to wax the boat prior to launch.(We would've liked to have had a few more passes but we ran out of time before the marina was ready for us to launch)

I used this to restore my finish on a 20 year old jetsk it brought back the shine and removed all the oxidation and dull paint . I have used many other products and this one was the easiest to use by far! Finally my search is over this is my go to cleaner . I just bought the polish and look forward to using it. Buy it you will not t be disappointed.

Absolutely amazing product, but you must follow directions for use. The compound is "Amateur Proof" but not "Idiot Proof". To explain what I mean, it is very hard to make rookie mistakes like burning through the finish or leaving swirl marks even using a standard rotory buffer. The compound "Breaks Down" while using it to a finer and finer polish. If you apply to much pressure on the buffer, or use to high of a speed, the compound breaks down to a very fine grit very quickly. On this same note, I see other comments that it doesn't work well on extremely oxidized finishes, or it's not intended for this purpose. That is simply not true, it works very well on even the most stubborn stains and/or oxidation. The key is how you use it. You must use a variable speed buffer, and turn the speed down all the way on your initial application. By using a low speed, the compound doesn't break down as quickly and this in turn allows the compound to remain at it's "Full Strength" for a longer period. Slow speed and no pressure on the buffer, just let the compound do the work. After you've gone over the surface on low speed, no pressure and moving slow, THEN put your buffer on high speed and polish it out. It may take a second or third application using the same proceedure, but only on extremely weathered finishes. I am very pleased with not only the results, but also not having to have several different compounds on hand to complete a job. This stuff is GREAT! Oh, use a strong soap like Dawn to hand wash your fleece buffer pad in warm water when you are done, and allow it to air dry.

Whew! Buffing out the oxidation from an older model Bayliner (in the South Texas extreme sunshine) is still a chore.The BuffMagic stuff appears to work OK - and is not tearing through the thin gelcoat gloss on the vessel.It still takes time, patience, and a light touch, but this stuff appears to be working as advertised. It buffs, the gelcoat is glossy, and the oxidation is going away. (Just not "instantly".)Lots of Youtube vids out there to show you "how" - recommend a dual-motion polisher (oscillates and spins) for best results so far.Appears to be great for fixing up old/plastic/oxydized headlight lenses too!JDMc

God in a can my buddy calls it and he is right

This is my third year restoring boats I purchase and I have used many other "combo" packages and nothing has achieved the expectations like this product. There is a secret to using this on fiberglass and a professional orbital ,(not random) polisher is the key element. Apply the Buff Magic with a small paint brush or similar type tool using small amounts as a little does go a long way. Use the orbital polisher on a clean dry surface set on the low setting working the Buff Magic into the surface and gradually increasing the speed of the buffer to high speed. Exercise caution if you are not familiar with a polisher they can be dangerous. Keep working your buffer in and around the areas of interest but do not hold in one place to long or you'll burn the fiberglass. You will see the shine. After doing aqbout four or five different areas it seems to get easier, I think it's because of the product on the applicator. I have used this on dark blue (25 footer), red (19 footer), and white (36 footer)boats, all over 20 years old and all three produced a brilliant shine after going about it as described above. Use wool application pads as the foam pads break down from the fine grit. Find a nice wax to use afterward as this is a polish and not a protectant and more importantly take your time, this is a great product but it will not be rushed. Truth be known nothing is easy about polishing oxidized fiberglass but this product produces. I am telling you, you will not be disappointed and the time you invest in it is well worth the results.
