God forbid some newbie to sailing takes a cue from Bob and tries "buffing"
a
hull at 10K RPM with a Grinder!!!......

How about 4K? 6? Do you even know that some operate as low as 3500?

Still way too fast. 1500rpm is about as fast as you want a hull polisher to
run.

. . .unless you and gelcoat have no particular love for each other.
