jps,

Thanks for the info. Yea my fiberglass is very chalky and oxidized. So
basically i will need to compound, I couldn't find the "Triple Cut"
compound you mentioned, any other brands that will work well? As fo rthe
Finesse It II i found that and plan on using it, as for the Colinite
fleet
wax, do you recommend the liquid or the paste? And for a 21' boat what
amount do you think i need to buy of each?

Thanks again! ! !

One can of Collinite fleet wax in paste form should be plenty for a
couple of years on a 21'. Get a couple of small foam applicators.

Go with a quart of the Finesse It II. You'll have done a fair bit of
polishing as you do the compounding but I think you'll really benefit
from polishing too.

I can't recall the name of that compounding paste everyone loves so much
but will email you if I find it. In the meanwhile, 3M and Mequires both
have good heavy oxidation compounds.

If you're finding the compounding isn't doing enough, it's time to
consider wet sanding. Starting with 600 and moving up to 2000 before
compounding, polishing and waxing.

There's lots of elbow grease in your future. Make it easier by
investing in the right tools and products and you'll be pleased with
your investment.

Feel free to post more questions here. I'm sure others will join in if
you keep asking.
