As I explain in my boat detailing book, gel-coats DON'T like soft foam pad when doing machine polishing. (abrading)
In fact, my experience is a soft foam pad can actually DULL the surface after you're restored a high gloss surface from a compounding step using a wool pad and a rotary buffer. I share this in my how to book and in the book I'm honest and state that I don't know the reason for this anomaly? I have also never found anyone that can explain the reason why? All I know is gel-coats like a firm hard pad if the goal is maximum gloss and uniform clarity of shine over large surfaces like boat hulls.
Thus I have found the RUPES blue coarse foam cutting pad to be a GREAT polishing pad AFTER all the oxidation has been removed or sanding marks if a person is wet sanding off the oxidation. The Lake Country blue Hybrid also works well. I tried the purple Lake Country Kompressor pads and they were a tick too aggressive or the slotted tab design had an negative affect as afterwards I saw haze caused by the buffing process.
Also, throughout the book I state that while the traditional Marine 31 compounds and polishes are as good as any other brand on the market it is the Marine 31 Captain's One-Step Compound & Polish that can replace all three of the traditional compounds and polishes because of the abrasive technology. It cuts like a compound and finishes out like a polish. I think in my book I state that for my time I wouldn't use anything else.
Here's your pictures. I uploaded them into your free gallery here on the forum.
Honest question Mike, marine 31 uses polishing oils in their products, doesn't this give a false shine that won't last long? Same thing why we don't like silicone in our compound and polish as that just "makes" it look good temporarily?
