I just bought a 1999 Searay 215EC that has been laid up for the past 2 years. The topsides were pretty chaulky and dull so Sunday I took a wheel to them with 3m Restorer & wax. The color came back and there is a definite glassy shine but umlike my Four Winns I don's see that super reflection. Being that the gelcoat is a pearl, should I expect the same kind of shine as that one a snow white boat or does the pearl obscure it?

One more question, since the topsides are almost all non-skid, any ideas on how best to bring it back?
 
AquaBuff 2000 compound, applied with an electric buffer, then wipe down with water and a rag, followed by a couple coats of a good paste wax, and you'll be good to go. It will look as new as the day it left the factory.
 
For nonskid, scrub the deck with Starbrite Deck Scrub first and a bristle brush. Then dry and apply some woody wax to protect the non-skid finish. It's non-skid, it won't shine. And if it does, it won't work!
