Jason,

Let me know which 3m products you used for wax.  There's so many to choose from and I just need a compound for the rear transom area near the teak strips that is a little bit faded and a good finish wax for the boat.

Thanks

Wow that really pops now!
If I make it Saturday, I want the run down on your process. I've been meaning to ask about where you got super fine wet/dry paper to fit your orbital anyways.

I used a yellow 6" foam buffing pad along with this Imperial compound to take out the 3000 scratches.

Then I used a grey 6" foam buffing pad along with the Finess-it II compound to polish. (This stuff is really nice. Buff's out real well and gives it the wet look.

Then I finished it with this 3M marine wax for protection.
