Re-Gel is a premium 2-part urethane-based coating designed to molecularly bond with your existing gelcoat. It restores a deep, long-lasting shine on faded fiberglass and delivers advanced UV protection that lasts for years. It's not a wax, polish, or sealant — it's true gelcoat restoration.

Waxes, polishes, and ceramics sit on top of the surface and wear off. Re-Gel chemically bonds into the existing gelcoat, becoming part of it. That means no peeling, no yellowing, no monthly reapplication — long-lasting recoat that protects against UV, salt, and oxidation for multiple seasons

Boat owners, RV owners, jet ski owners, and detailers — anyone with a fiberglass surface that's gone chalky, dull, or oxidized. Re-Gel was built to be DIY-friendly, so you don't need professional tools or training to use it.

Real restoration. Most products only sit on top of damaged gelcoat. Re-Gel works within it, rebuilding gloss and surface density and chemically bonding into the fiberglass.

Re-Gel is made in the USA.

Every Re-Gel kit includes step-by-step instructions, and we have detailed video tutorials on our YouTube channel. The short version: (1) clean the surface with the included scuff pad and pre-cleaner soap, (2) degrease thoroughly, (3) mix Part 1, Part 2, and the catalyst as directed, then (4) wipe on a fresh, even coat. That's it — no buffer, no spray gun.

No. Re-Gel is engineered for DIY use. If you can wash and wax a boat, you can apply Re-Gel. There's no sanding, buffing, or spraying involved.

Most owners finish a 20–30 ft boat in a few hours, depending on prep condition and how oxidized the surface is. Larger RVs and bigger boats take longer, but it's still a one-day job for most people.

Yes — prep matters. Wash and dry the surface thoroughly to remove dirt, salt, and loose oxidation before applying. Use the included pre-cleaner and scuff pad to open up the gelcoat so Re-Gel can bond properly.

It's best to apply Re-Gel in the shade or on a cool surface. Hot surfaces and direct sun can cause streaks or flash-dry the product before you can spread it evenly. Early morning or late afternoon is ideal.

Apply at roughly 50–77°F with low humidity for best results. Hotter than that and the product flashes too quickly; colder than that and cure time gets unpredictable.

One properly applied coat is enough for most surfaces. Severely oxidized or porous gelcoat may benefit from a second coat after the first has set. Don't over-apply — a wet, even coat performs better than a thin one.

You can absolutely DIY it — that's what Re-Gel is built for. If you'd rather have a pro do it, we have Certified Re-Gel Installers around the country. You can also apply to become one.

Re-Gel is typically dry to the touch within one hour of application under normal conditions (around 70°F, low humidity). Cooler or more humid conditions extend that.

Wait 24 hours before the surface gets any water contact (rain, splash, hose-down). You can launch the boat after 4 days of full cure to make sure it's fully bonded and ready for prolonged submersion.

No — keep the surface dry for at least 24 hours after application. Cover it or store it under shelter if rain is in the forecast.

Wait at least 4–7 days before doing a full wash. After that, regular soap-and-water washes are fine and won't damage the finish.

Re-Gel reaches full chemical cure within about 4 days under normal conditions. It can be handled and lightly used sooner, but full hardness and chemical resistance build over that window.

Yes. Warmer, drier conditions speed cure; cooler or more humid conditions slow it down. If you're applying in marginal conditions, give it extra time before any water exposure.

Re-Gel is built for fiberglass gelcoat and is also safe on most 2-part painted surfaces, where it restores shine and adds long-lasting UV protection. While it's not specifically formulated for plastic, glass, or trim, our experience is that it's safe and non-damaging around those areas.

Yes. Re-Gel works on RV fiberglass exteriors just like it does on boat hulls and decks. It's a popular use case — RVs are often heavily oxidized from sun exposure, and Re-Gel brings back the gloss without buffing.

Yes. Jet skis are fiberglass with gelcoat, so Re-Gel is a great fit. The Mini Kit is sized for jet skis and smaller craft.

Re-Gel is safe on most 2-part painted surfaces and will restore shine and add UV protection, but it was engineered for gelcoat. If your boat has been fully repainted with marine paint, results may vary — test a small area first.

No — any wax, polish, ceramic, or sealant has to be fully removed before applying Re-Gel. Re-Gel needs a bare, clean, prepped gelcoat to bond into. That's what the pre-cleaner and scuff pads in your kit are for.

Yes. Re-Gel enhances colored surfaces and is safe to use around decals and stickers. Most owners apply Re-Gel right over their stickers and decals.

Re-Gel is designed for fiberglass gelcoat and painted surfaces, not raw metal. Mask off aluminum trim, stainless, and chrome to keep the lines crisp.

Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The more oxidized the gelcoat, the more dramatic the restoration. Make sure to do thorough prep so Re-Gel can bond down to clean gelcoat.

No. Re-Gel is a restoration coating, not a structural repair. Deep scratches, gouges, and cracks need to be filled and faired with gelcoat repair compound first. Once the surface is smooth, Re-Gel will restore the finish.

It restores deep gloss, rebuilds surface density on chalky or oxidized gelcoat, and lays down a hydrophobic, UV-protective layer. Before-and-after is dramatic — see our Customer Gallery for examples.

Re-Gel is a clear restoration system, not a color-match repair product. It brings back the existing color and shine that oxidation has dulled, but it isn't used to repaint or recolor a boat.

Glossy. Re-Gel produces a deep, wet-look gloss finish similar to fresh factory gelcoat.

No. Re-Gel restores the original color that's been faded by UV and oxidation. If the underlying gelcoat color is gone, Re-Gel can't change the color — but it will bring back the color that's still there.

No. Re-Gel's urethane formulation is engineered to resist UV yellowing — that's one of the main reasons it outperforms wax-based or basic clear coatings.

Properly applied, Re-Gel goes on smooth and even. Streaks or waviness usually come from applying in direct sun, on a hot surface, or with too little product. Follow the application steps and put the Re-Gel on wet while watching for runs.

Mini Kit covers boats up to 20 ft and RVs up to 30 ft. Standard Kit covers 20–30 ft boats and RVs up to 40 ft. Pro Kit covers up to 1,200 sq ft (larger boats and RVs). Ultra Kit covers up to 1,600 sq ft for the biggest projects. There's also a Re-Gel Gelcoat Refill if you already have a kit and need more product.

Roughly: Mini up to 20 ft boats or 30 ft RVs, Standard 20–30 ft boats and 30–40 ft RVs, Pro up to 1,200 sq ft, Ultra up to 1,600 sq ft. If you're between sizes or your boat is heavily oxidized, size up — running out mid-application is the most common avoidable mistake. For most RVs, a Standard Kit will do the job.

Each kit includes Part 1 (Re-Gel base), Part 2 (cross-linker), catalyst, pre-wash / pre-cleaner, scuff pads, foam applicator pads, microfiber towels, and step-by-step instructions. Larger kits include more product and supplies. Check the product page for the exact contents of each size.

Most owners pick up a few extras: nitrile gloves, masking tape (for glass, metal, trim), a quart mixing cup, and a couple of extra microfiber towels. We sell all of those in our Detailing Products section if you want to grab them in one order.

For boats, multiply length × average height of the side you're coating, then add the transom and any deck areas. For RVs, multiply length × height per side, then add front cap and rear cap. If you're not sure, contact us at (918) 641-4514 with your boat or RV model and we'll help you size it.

Re-Gel can last years with proper care, depending on usage, climate, and sun exposure. Boats stored covered or indoors see the longest service life; boats kept on a lift in heavy sun see shorter intervals before any refresh is needed.

Wash with a pH-neutral marine soap (our Wash & Wax works great). For extra gloss and protection, you can top with our Gloss Lock final-wipe sealant — it's not required, but it makes maintenance even easier.

No. One of the big advantages of Re-Gel is that you don't need ongoing wax. We do sell a quality wax that's great if you want extra protection after cure. If you want to add extra slickness, our Gloss Lock spray sealant works well, but it's optional.

Yes. When you eventually want to refresh, you can prep the surface and apply another coat just like the first time. Most owners get years of service before any reapplication is needed.

Yes. Re-Gel is built for marine use and is salt- and UV-resistant. Saltwater boats benefit from routine freshwater rinses to keep the surface clean, but the coating itself is engineered for that environment.

Yes — UV protection is one of the core features. Re-Gel's urethane chemistry blocks UV from breaking down the gelcoat underneath, which is what causes chalking and fading in the first place.

Re-Gel is a permanent bonded coating, so it can't simply be wiped off like wax. If something goes wrong with the application (streaks, missed spots), reach out to our support line at (918) 641-4514 and we'll walk you through corrective options.

Streaks usually happen from applying in direct sun, on a hot surface, or with too little product. If you catch it early during application, you can usually adjust your speed and the amount you're applying — common causes are a dry sponge or too-hot surface or ambient temperature. If it's already cured, call our support team and we'll help you plan a fix.

Wipe it off immediately with a clean rag and acetone or thinner before it cures. Once cured, removal is much harder. That's why we recommend masking off glass, carpet, metal trim, and any non-target surfaces before you start.

Re-Gel is designed to be left alone after application — no buffing required. Re-Gel can be wet sanded and buffed if needed, but aggressive sanding or buffing will compromise the bonded layer. If you have a specific issue, call us first.

Yes, with normal precautions for a chemical coating product. Use in a well-ventilated area, wear nitrile gloves, a respirator, and eye protection, and avoid prolonged skin contact. See our MSDS for full safety data.

The MSDS is linked in the footer of getregel.com under Privacy – Terms → MSDS.

Re-Gel contains solvents and should be handled like other automotive and marine refinishing products — keep away from open flames and heat sources, and store at moderate temperatures. See the MSDS for specifics.

Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, away from heat sources, and away from children. Unopened product will last for a year.

Once mixed with catalyst, Re-Gel has a limited working window — typically you want to apply it within roughly an hour. Don't mix more than you can use in one session.

Orders typically ship within 1–2 business days, with standard delivery times after that depending on your location.

Not at this time.
