Farecla bought some today from local motor factors, used it as per instructions ie with a drop or two of water - verdict bloomin good GRP looks like new and in no time at all, down side electric polisher throws it about a bit. .but just a couple squirts goes along long way, buy it on ebay by the way

Meguirs. Not maguires. Great product. 3M also do a decent long lasting polish for marine use on GRP.
If you really want to set the world alight in a Concours competition try Bobby Zano's polish as recommended by car competition winners everywhere. If you have a Blue hull, do this and annoy your neighbours in the marina.

Also buff it up with 3M Finessit prior to polishing. Its what we used at Jaguar for show car preparation.

Proper rubbing compounds for automotive use don't have silicone in them.
It's those combined clean and shine things like "T" Cut that have it.

Be careful only certain ones are suitable for GRP and the number indicates various degrees of courseness. Try to get their video on how to use it - add water!! Can be bought from any Automobile paint supplier.

I bought from a company called something like Directsolutions a couple of years ago, as a result of a post on here. Can't remember the exact name. They had 3M products not generally available thru the chandlers...
