First things first. Don't bother trying to apply these products by hand. Get a dual action, variable speed polishing wheel. The dual action / oscillating version will be much less likely to burn the get coat and you can use higher speeds. I use one from Harbor Freight... $70 works great. Used it with their velcro attached foam pads, $7 each. Used a total of 9 of them. A friend of mine does detailing as side work and has used the HF wheel for 4 years now. These products are good however, I believe the oxidation remover is not as strong as 34;3M Marine Compound and Finishing Material34;. But this Meguiars is also much less expensive. I decided to give Meguiars a try since I didn't think the level of oxidation I had was that bad. Next Year I might use the 3M. More importantly, the Meguiars Polish doesn't replenish the gel coat very well, IMO. Substitute with a $3 bottle of baby oil and wheel it in good. Results will be far superior and save money. I know it might sound strange, but baby oil is the polish to use. Seal it in with at least two coats of wax. The red and dark blue on my 27 year old Powerquest looks amazing and I get told the boat looks only a couple years old. 1) Cutting compound / oxidation remover applied with polishing wheel 2) Baby oil as polish applied with polishing wheel 3) Wax applied with polishing wheel 4) Wax again with polishing wheel
