What gelcoat repair product matches the color of our cockpit gelcoat?

Dan,
I purchased a quart from Mini-Kraft in Florida
at this link. Get the kind with wax added so you don't need to cover it for curing. You enter the hull ID so they have the color matching available.

Received the product, ordered with wax. Mini-craft does not provide instructions.
Called in, they spoke very quickly. I think I heard the following,
is this correct?
where does the high gloss get used? how much?
when fixing spider cracks, can I combine this with colloidal silica to thicken?
Could use some help, posted here maybe we can make these instructions for anyone to use:
