The sun and years have faded my black gelcoat, and its time to bring her back......quite chalky.

I did a cursory forum search, but curious if any of these product like this "F11" are worth a try?  Or am i just better off sanding and buffing....which in my case probably means using a local pro, which I'm not opposed to.....

Serious oxidation typically requires wet sanding.  Lots of good info here on wet sanding DIY.
