Good quality gel coat should not yellow any more than good quality paint.
Just finished the first cut and polish of the OKA gel coat in 15 years and it looks new.

ps... it has been stored outside 24/7 for all but 2 years of that 15 years.

Cheers,
Peter

Yellowing of gel coat is usually within the coating so generally unable to polish out
