Why Detailers Love Level R

  • Heavy-Duty Oxidation Removal: Effortlessly eliminates P600–P800 sanding scratches, chalking, and years of neglect on gel coat.

  • Refines as it Cuts: Advanced abrasives break down gradually to create a refined finish, reducing swirl marks and compounding haze.

  • Paint & Gel Coat Safe: Versatile for both marine paint and fiberglass gel coat, making it ideal for full-surface restoration.

  • Machine-Friendly: Use with a rotary or dual-action polisher paired with wool or heavy cut foam pads.

  • Silicone-Free Formula: Safe for use before coatings, sealants, or marine waxes—won’t interfere with bonding or finish quality.


Perfect For:

  • Restoring boats with heavy oxidation and chalking

  • Prepping gel coat for Level R or finishing polish

  • Professional marine detailing and DIY applications

  • Removing deep sanding scratches and surface defects
