Compound when detailing boat
What type of rubbing/ polishing compound to bring back the shine on a 95 35 all white, I was thinking about using finesse it first with a wool pad, then using a Mequires fiberglass wax

The 3M Finesse It is an excellent product. Try using a waffle foam finishing pad, they work well and do not throw as much material off as a wool pad. Your compound will go farther, just remember to use a slower speed. Then use the wool pad to do the final pass to really bring out the shine. Good Luck.

FINESE IT IS REALLY A GLAZING COMPOUND. micro fine compound will remove a lil bit more material than the finese it, if thats necessary. garys satin wax, or even better marine clean wax for a finish like no other.
just keep in mind that the more you remove the faster it will oxidise and fade .
unless of course its clear were speaking about.

I just spoke to Donnie at Marine Clean - He has an oxidation remover that is marketed through trick marine. I dont have any personal experiance yet but he seems to really know his stuff.

He was asking about compounds, my reference was to the Finesse It Micro Fine polishing compound. I believe it is rated as a 3000 grit product. IMO none better. Needs to be followed up with a quality wax / finish product for a lasting shine. Most of the oxidation removal products I've seen simply feed oils / silicones into the finish to cover the haze of minor oxidation rather than cutting it away, and therefore do not give a long lasting finish. I've used the 3M Micro Fine for years and IMO it does a better job than any other product I've tried.

3000 grit will nmot remove scratches or stains. it is a great product, i agree. donnies products work very well. i use them on all my customers boats and on the fountains i have in my showroom, and on the trade in's. even my car, and it works great, applies easily and lasts.
the oxisdation remover works nice.
if you need to go a little more agresive, than i would use the micro from 3m with a foam pad as stated.

As far as super faded units wet sand first if needed. Then use 3m superduty compound or gel compound first & then work you way up with finesse it & leverage for the ultimate gloss & protection...
If it is lightly oxidized then The Leverage/marine clean oxidation remover followed up with Leverage is an excellent way to go..
If ya need any feel free to call me..
