I know this subject keeps cropping up but I have read numerous posts both on here and in the U.S. and I still dont know which way to jump. Whilst the boat is out the water I want to give the hull a good polish and wax ...Its a blue hull and is good condition...I have purchashed some Aqua Buff 2000 for the polishing and will finish the job by hand with some collinite 885 paste wax. Where I struggle is which machine to purchase. The choice is either the meguiars dual action orbital polisher (2760-6000 opm) or a rotary polisher such as the siverline or the more expensive Makita 9227. This will be my first attempt at machine polishing but I'd like to think that I'm practical enough to turn my hand to anything. The aquabuff mentions using a rotary polisher but then there seems to be a general concern that if a rotary is used incorrectly it can result gel coat damage. Any advice and suggestions would be appreciated....Apologies for dragging this subject up again.
