The real problem
Your gelcoat isn't dirty β it's oxidizing.
UV breaks gelcoat down from the surface in. Every season it gets chalkier, duller, and more porous. And the fixes everyone reaches for don't actually stop it:
A 2-part urethane that bonds into your gelcoat and restores the fiberglass itself β real restoration, not a cover-up. Scuff. Wipe. Cure. One afternoon, no buffer.
Ceramic is real protection β but it's a topcoat, and a topcoat can only protect what's under it. Over oxidized gelcoat, you're sealing the chalk in.
Restore the gelcoat with Re-Gel first, then ceramic on top gives you a sacrificial layer that takes the abuse instead of your hull. Order matters.
What it is vs. what it isn't
Re-Gel isn't a wax. It isn't a topcoat.
It bonds with your gelcoat at the molecular level β restoring the fiberglass instead of covering it.
Ceramic and sealants do a different job β they protect. They just can't restore gelcoat that's already oxidized. Re-Gel first, then a topcoat if you want one.
Two parts. One afternoon. No rotary buffer.
This is what hours with Re-Gel looks like.
How it works
The Re-Gel Method
A 2-part urethane you wipe on by hand β no buffer, no compounds, no painting. Four steps, done in hours. Surfaces badly beaten up by the sun may take a second coat.
Wash the surface with the included soap and a Scotch-Brite pad. That one pass does two jobs: it strips the dirt and chalk, and it leaves fine micro-scratches so Re-Gel bonds into the gelcoat instead of sitting on top like wax. Let it dry fully. No heavy sanding, no buffing compounds, no painting, no peeling coatings.
Wipe the whole surface down with the included Wax & Grease Remover so no oils or residue are left to block the bond.
Combine the catalyst with the Re-Gel bottle right before you apply. Mix only what you'll use β once it's catalyzed, the clock starts.
Wipe, even coat, working slowly. On boats, RVs, or jet skis badly beaten up by the sun, lay down a second coat for full color and depth. It cures to a hard, UV-protected finish that holds season after season.
Apply with surface temp under 77Β°F. Not for painted, clear-coated, or actively cracking gelcoat β those need repair first. Durability varies with climate, prep, and maintenance.

Not sure which kit is right for you?
Call or message us with your boat and we'll tell you exactly what you need β no guessing, no overbuying.
This is a guideline, not a hard rule. Actual coverage depends on surface texture, porosity, and condition. The save option matches your project on paper but leaves no margin β Re-Gel goes on at a set thickness and can't be stretched, so if you run short or want a second pass on stubborn spots, you'll need more. When in doubt, size up: leftover product keeps, a half-finished boat doesn't. And however much you order, your results come down to prep and application as much as the kit itself β that's why every kit ships with the full step-by-step process and mixing ratios, plus a real person on the phone if you get stuck mid-coat.
