Orbital buffer questions
 
Guys,
I have the opportunity to get a discount on a porter cable 7346sp 6" variable speed random orbital. I am planning to polish my white '97 Chris Craft that has little to no oxidation... Pretty much looks glossy at an angle, but under a direct light source there is a slight haze. With the tool above, I am wondering the best pad and or bonnet to use for this application. Thanks!

Its hard to tell without seeing the boat but the Lake Country orange pad is a good halfway point. If there is more oxidation, I've had great success with the LC yellow pad and LC white is my go to on most boats we do year after year.
