A. We hear it’s a "little chalky" all the time. In most cases, Yacht Docs can remove years of neglect by light or heavy compounding and then waxing the areas with fantastic results. Lightly oxidized surfaces will naturally respond better than ones that are completely dead. However, this is a double-edged sword. The more we have to compound; the more gel coat or paint is removed in the process. The customer must realize that this is getting to the backside of the power curve on taking care of things. So if you must have the boat compounded, the clock is going to tick a lot faster on when you will have to have it redone.
