Need advice on restoring lightly oxidized gel coat.

[Chriskcco]

I have an old boat that's just lightly oxidized. It has been taken care of, and I just want to get it shining before summer hits here in Missouri. I know that rotary buffer is the best way, but I'm not spending money on one just yet. So I'll be using my pc7424xp. I was just wondering a couple things.

1. What are good products to use?

2. Should I use separate wax or sealant?

Autogeek just released their line of Marine products, I haven't used them yet personally, but I'm sure they are quality. Check out these threads..

Duragloss makes some good products for gel coat.
