Gel coat care?

[Wakeman22]

I need to clean and buff/wax my gel coat. Was wondering what products to use as well as what size buffer to use. What size pad and where do I get a good buffer? Wool or foam?

What are you using with success? And what steps have worked best? The white looks good but the blue has the water haze one it.

I used a 3m product called finess-it 2, with a variable speed buffer. I was extremly pleased with the results. I purchased the buffer from auto geeks web site. Hope this helps

I second the 3M finese it. I use a Mikata variable speed buffer with a wool pad. It is hard to mess up gel coat unless you really try. Not much luck with the foam pads; seems they get too hot and are more difficult to work with.

A fresh wax with 3M and a good wool pad - you see the deep luster it brings out.

Now thats the way I want my boat to shine, Nice looking and love the wheels. What size is the pad? 7" 10" ?

I use both, but primarily a 10" pad.
