    What pads for cleaning/polishing/waxing gelcoat

    Wondering what pads would be best (I have Lake Country 5½ flat pads for Autos) for cleaning, polishing and waxing gel coat. First time doing a boat. Gel coat is in pretty good shape and doesn't seem to need alot of correction.

    For products I have Collinite Boat Cleaner #920, Meguiars #45 Marine Polish and for wax I have Megs Premium Flagship Wax.

    fYI, I currently have Orange, white and Black LC pads and I use a Griots Garage 6 DA. Would these work fine?

    Your going to need a bunch of those orange pads if its oxidized.

    If I were you, I would get a rotary for jobs like this. If you don't wanna drop the big bucks right now, Harbor Freight has an ElCheapo unit for 29.95
