Starke Level R Heavy Cut Compound
Looking to restore your gel coat or marine paint back to its former glory? Level R can help you bring back the shine of your vessel by removing scratches, heavy oxidation and chalk. Once the damage has been removed, follow with Elevate medium cut compound or Ignition finishing polish to restore gloss. For an even deeper glossier look, use Starke Revolution, or Hyper Hold to enhance the gloss and protect from the elements.
Chalky, heavily oxidized gelcoat is common on Charleston boats that live on a lift or mooring. Level R is the first step to cut it back before you refine.
How to Use Level R:
-
Prepare the Surface:
- Wash and dry your vessel to remove any dirt, salt, or debris.
- Ensure the surface is cool to the touch before applying Level R.
-
Choose Your Equipment:
- Recommended Pads: Use a wool or heavy-cut foam pad for effective cutting.
- Polisher: A rotary or dual-action polisher works best for even results.
-
Apply Level R:
- Apply a small amount of Level R directly onto the pad or the surface.
- Start with a low speed to distribute the product evenly.
-
Polish the Surface:
- Gradually increase the speed of the polisher and work in overlapping passes to remove scratches, oxidation, and chalk.
- Focus on one section at a time until the defects are removed.
-
Inspect Your Progress:
- Stop periodically to wipe away residue with a clean microfiber cloth and check the surface for improvement.
-
Follow-Up Steps for a High-Gloss Finish:
- After using Level R, apply Elevate Medium Cut Compound to refine the surface and restore gloss.
- For a swirl-free and high-gloss finish, complete with Ignition Finishing Polish.
-
Protect Your Work:
- For enhanced gloss and long-lasting protection, finish with a sealant such as Starke Revolution, Hyper Hold, or Hybrid Marine Sealant.
Tips:
- Work in small sections for more control and consistent results.
- Avoid applying in direct sunlight or onto a hot surface for optimal performance.
- Store Level R in a cool, dry place to maintain product quality.
