Thats a shine an half. could do with a few buffing tips myself ,i am a disaster with a buffer , first try i got the electric cord caught round the head of the buffer ,which sretched the cable so hard the wires broke and touched ,blue flash smoke, and white lights { 240 volts ) over here guys. Next try I was going great guns when i got a bit too cockey and started to speed things up a bit ,I got the cord from my joggers caught in the wheel boy that was a close one , finshed the boat by hand . i am willing to give it one more try in the spring stay tuned .

I wet sanded it with 2000 but I should have used 1500 first. Ultra cutting cream by presta and a wool pad with alot of rpm's and pressure on the wheel. I like to get the surface hot and hit each spot afew times.In that picture is right after I compounding it. I didn't wax it yet it will look even better when it's waxed.
