Starke Yacht Care "Elevate" Medium Cut Compound Review + Demo On Gel Coat

Starke Yacht Care "Elevate" is an excellent compound for light oxidation removal, gloss enhancement, or prep polish for a Ceramic Coating. It works well in direct sunlight and is easy to remove once it has hazed up.

Nice Job. Thanks for sharing.

Good stuff. Question, I wet sanded some light scratches with 1000, then 2000 grit paper, then used compound with my flex. Black finish, still see the scratches from the sandpaper? Any advice would be appreciated. I’m not a pro...

Try more time with the 2000 then add 3000 before compounding. Each sanding step should be done in a different direction to remove the ridges from the previous step. For example sand with 1000 up/down, 2000 left/right, 3000 at a 45 degree. If you see scratches after compounding you will know which step you will need to fix.
