Description

Looking to restore your gel coat or marine paint back to its former glory? Restructure can help you bring back the shine on your vessel by removing heavy oxidation, flatness and swirls. Once the damage has been removed, follow with Elevate medium cut compound or Ignition finishing polish to refine swirls and holograms. Use Liquid Thor or Repel Pro for ultimate uv protection and to prevent oxidation.

Not a fan

"Not a fan. Doesn’t cut as well as Lever R and with a lot more dust."

— Tom G. (3/5)

This is the only product I use.

"I use starke exclusively on car and boat detailing. My favorite product is hyperhold because months after I finish all the customer has to do is rinse the dirt off and is back to how I left it detailed."
