WAKE UP YOUR GEL COAT.

Wake Up is our ceramic-fortified, one-step polish and protectant for gel coat. It cleans up light to moderate oxidation, removes stubborn water spots, and leaves a smooth, UV-resistant finish thanks to its diminishing abrasive. The best part is that it doubles as a wax, laying down ceramic-based protection as you polish, so you restore and defend gel coat in one easy step.

• One-step polish and protect: Restores gloss and lays down protection in a single pass.
• Ceramic-fortified: Leaves a smooth, UV-resistant finish that defends the surface.
• Removes oxidation and water spots: Cleans up light to moderate oxidation and stubborn spots.
• Pads we pair with it: The Correcting Marine Foam Pad from Lake Country. Built to be run with a machine.
• Pairs after Heavy Cut: We love it as the refine-and-protect step after cutting gel coat with Heavy Cut.
• Not for heavy oxidation: Wake Up will not pull out heavy oxidation. For that, cut first with Heavy Cut, then refine with Wake Up.

How to Use

2. Work it into the surface with moderate pressure on a machine polisher.
3. Allow the product to haze, then wipe off with a clean microfiber towel.

Detailer Tips

• For extra protection, follow with Skipper Boat Wax on the Polishing Marine Foam Pad, or with Beadlock Marine.
• Wake Up cleans up stubborn water spots, but it will not remove spots that are heavily etched into the gel coat. Those need to be compounded out first.
• Use it right after Heavy Cut to refine the marring and protect in one step.
• Keep the boat up with Aftermath after it comes out of the water to prevent hard water spot buildup down the road.
