I read quite abit of forums, and decided to go with Mainsail's advice. Google: tips for compound, polish and wax.
I started with a badly oxidized hull, dull and chalky. The black stripes were chalky and dull also.
I followed his advice and use of products to a T, and the results were nothing short of spectular. :D
However, the labor and expense were considerable. I still have a lot to complete, but once finished, regular washing and yearly waxing will do nicely for me.
Defiantly go with collinite wax, and 3m products IMHO.
Best of luck,
Rich
