Job Part "B", seal the surface:
I was considering the job of putting a protective wax coating on the deck areas, by using Weather Wax™, Turtle Wax™, or Nu-Finish™. Each is good and would likely last a year, even in the Florida sunshine. However, they all share a common fault. Wax on, wax off. Doing something twice in the sunshine here is just plain crazy.
I read, in a magazine or web site page somewhere, about an experienced boat owner's once-a-year system for using Penetrol. This is a liquid product that leaves a coating that behaves similar to Thompson's Waterseal™. However, it dries much quicker based on my experience with Thompson's.

Restore or Refinish
This is the question that most classic boat owners never give much thought to. That's not quite accurate. This is the question most classic boat owners don't feel equipped to answer. We all want the beautiful shiny new-looking boat, but we rarely get there because we assume it will cost us more than we're willing to spend. A new paint job seems like the only way, but a professional job is measured in thousands of dollars, not hundreds. Most of us would do it ourselves except we're not confident in our skills or have no experience with this sort of task. We ask for advice from others, but we are given conflicting accounts of the processes by everyone who seems to know more than us.
To most people, there is no difference between polished an shiny. This seemingly insignificant triviality is the reason many boats revert to their degraded state two months after being “detailed”.
For best results when using Marine Polytrol, do not apply in direct sunlight or when the gelcoat surface is hot to the touch. Marine Polytrol is designed to restore pigment, color and shine to the gelcoat, so it is not suitable to be used on white surfaces.
Gelcoat Restorer is full of benefits: more
Marine Polytrol is simple and easy to apply and can be done in five short steps, some of which you can often omit depending on the state of your gelcoat to begin with: [links]
The beauty of Marine Polytrol is that you don’t need expensive waxes or polishes that merely sit on the surface. Applying waxes can be time-consuming and is often a fruitless task, with Gelcoat Restorer you know that the formula is penetrating deep within the gelcoat to give long-lasting and more effective results which restore the pigments while eliminating the need for more frequent maintenance and re-waxing. here
When the gelcoat on your boat has faded, it can make your boat look dull, tired and lacklustre and can certainly make you lose your enthusiasm for its appearance. Through damage caused by the elements, the soft surface of the gelcoat is eroded and can leave it looking chalky and dull in its appearance. However, restoring your gelcoat is one of the easiest boat tasks that you can undertake and is easy to do yourself.
With Marine Polytrol, maintenance is easy. The results are long-lasting but when you see they are fading, simply repeat the easy process again.
does it last or needs to be repeated and if so, how often?
Does any one have experience using PENETROL to remove oxidation and restore the finish to Gel coat? After the advice i got here, I was planning on compounding the boat. a good friend recommended PENETROL, so before I dive in I want to know more
Is penetrol a FIX or a band aid [links]
I want to FIX the situation. as of right now, Im going to compound then wax with a paste wax
The finish is an original mustard color gel Coat, 1972 Sportcraft. here
