Just redone the complete boat, 600, 800, 1200, 3M heavy, 3m finess + wax, got deep color and mirror shine. worth the effort.

Great video. My man doing the work knows his stuff. I'm a life long boater, Miami/Ft Lauderdale area and I live on the water and keep my boat in the water. It's a 1996 Marlin 350 SF and I wax and polish the hull sides every few years but the side that is not against the dock gets a direct east sun exposure so one side of my boat is always more beat up than the other. I just hauled my boat after 2+ years in the water and did the bottom paint, engine maintenance and of course some waxing. My hull was no where near as bad as the one in this video so I did not have to do the wet sanding. But I have done it to other boats and it really makes a difference when done right. For my boat this haul out I was able to just use a good marine polish and orbital buffer and it came out nice. Next time around I will likely do the wet sanding.

The tall brown bottle with a white label is 3M imperial compound. Its very expensive compound ($80 per quart) but you can do at least 3 boats this size with that bottle. The purple bottle with an orange label is 3M Heavy Cut Wax. Its basically Wax with a little bit of abrasives in it along with the wax. 3M makes some great detailing supplies but they are very pricy. You get what you pay for though

To give an answer; when i worked at a boat shop we used a machine that kinda rotates and oscilates/vibrates. It oscilates and vibrates more than it rotates. Idk what you call it but that is the closest description. As for compound i would use a product designed for gelcoat. And remember that if you use a machine like a polisher, dont use a lot of pressure as that can make the gelcoat cook.

Darker colors are just harder to work with because of the lights reflection. Bright colors will reflect more light and in a way hide more of the imperfections. Darker colors will make wear and tear more visible in general. I would suggest following the process in this video, with the 1000 and 2000 wet sand (with proper quality on the paper/pad) And maybe try get some compound for your color as that could make a slight difference. The most important thing is time and effort. And a decent machine to make your life easier doesnt hurt either.
