I have a 2001 whaler sport that has a gel coat that is completely chalky. Any recommendations to bring back to life? I know the best way is to keep her waxed, but this is a second hand boat. I tried 3M's Marine Color gloss Restorer with little to show for my efforts. Also, what do you guys use for a marine wax?

Are gel coats made differently now versus the 70's? I have a 1978 Tiara that shows better than this 2001 Whaler!
