You want to use the appropreate product for the material you will be polishing. Marine polish is made to polish fiberglass. If your boat is painted then you would not use the marine products on paint, but car products made for paint is OK if it is painted.

i mean gel coat polish

thank you mr shire for your quick reply..

I know what you mean.. if the boat been painted or custom painted can be used the car polish.

but what i mean is.. polishing the gelcoat (the fibre glass material)

The only paint product I use on gel coat is #21 sealant. To clean and shine the gel coat I use products from the marine line.
