I have a 1994 Chaparral 21' bowrider. I bought the boat a few years ago an
never did anything to the exterior except for basic wash. I trailer the
boat and keep it out of the water when not in use.

There is alot of dull spots on the blue/aqua finish. I don't believe there
is any protective coating left on the boat. I have a friend who owns a body
shop that will come over and use his commericial/heavy duty buffer/waxer.
I'm sure there has some of you who have done this before, I'm looking for
any suggestions, tips, and opinions for this job. Specific brands of
compound/waxer/polisher etc. will be of great help. Also any links to
websites with further information is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

There are various levels of oxidation. If it's just dull you can get
away with polishing. If it has built up chalkiness, you're going to
have to compound before polishing.

Here's my suggestion:

Makita 6227 Buffer/Polisher, high speed light weight.

Make that a 9227C Buffer/Polisher.
