So when I completely rebuilt my boat we wet sanded and buffed the whole thing and it looked awesome. after about a month it went right back to crap again. I want to bring it back to shine again but don't want to waist my time if its just gonna turn again. Is there anything I can do to prevent it from happening again ?

keep it waxed and covered!

A good wax like boat candy will keep the UV off. Also a good boat cover.

Will I need to color sand again or just get out the buffing wheel and go to town ? My buddy said to buff it then lay down some carnauba wax and cover it when not in use

Try this get so carnauba wax with sealer. It works great. I had a boat racer tell me that boats as they get older they dry out like your skin. When they dry out they start to shrink the carnauba wax with sealer stops the boat from drying out and it brings a really nice shine. U still have to wax it every couple of months. I try to wax mine every time I take it out.

Even if the gel coat is kind of rough ?

Kaotyk, you should show the guy how. You could come use my boat as a demonstration

So I got some synthetic wax and some rubbing compound and started buffing. The rubbing compound sucked and didn't really work. Tried the synthetic wax and it did a pretty good job bringing out the shine. Still need to do the back and a little more on the front but its coming along. Just wanted to say thanks for knowledge guys.
