Default Rotary Buffing Boat

Just curious what your favorite products are to bring back oxidized fiberglass.
Light oxidation ?
Heavy oxidation ?

And also what is your favorite swirl mark remover and do you use a foam pad with it or what ?

And the final question does anyone on her have the new lightweight Flex Rotary Buffer Model 14-2-1 and how is it holding up under the torturous conditions of buffing a boat ???

I have had better luck with 3m trizact foam discs on the gelcoat on my Formula than anything else. Just use your favorite compound and a paint sealant over the imron graphics.

I use 3M heavy duty compound for heavy oxidation or scratches. I use a heavy cut foam pad on a rotary buffer. I follow the compound with 3M Finesse-IT glaze & a medium foam pad. I finish with 3M liquid wax & a random orbital buffer with a soft foam pad. I follow that with a terry cloth bonnet or micro fiber bonnet.
