Level R is the Step 1 Correct compound in the STARKE Surface Restore System, built for serious correction jobs on oxidized gel coat and marine-grade painted surfaces. Whether you're restoring a chalky hull, removing deep sanding scratches, it's known to be the leader in the Marine Industry.
Engineered with advanced hybrid abrasive technology, Level R starts aggressive and finishes smooth, saving time and eliminating the need for multiple products. Use with a rotary paired with White Wool. From there, follow the system into Step 2 Refine with Elevate.
