Pool slides are commonly made with fiberglass or coated with fiberglass gel coat. Fiberglass gel coat is a finishing paint as well as a protective layer. For outside applications, gel coat contains additives that provide protection from ultraviolet rays. After years of sun exposure and wear and tear, the gel coat on a fiberglass pool side can become dull and discolored. Gel coat can be restored back to its original finish fairly easily with supplies found at a marine supply store. Warnings Writer Bio
