Re: rubbing compound and wax
YES..As a matter of fact, don't use a wheel.<br />Get some rubbergloves,and a gallon of Greased Lightning. Best time to de-oxidize it is in the morning when the hull is still wet. Or after or durring a rain shower. This keeps the G/L cleaner from drying onto the hull,and allows it to werk more evenly.<br />Once the hull is dry and clean, get some Mothers Carnuba paste wax, or the entire Mothers 3-stage kit (which is much better). An alternative is Maquires premium auto wax. It is what the Vette guys like to use,as it works great on glass.<br />You will need to rub some,but do most of your rubbing durring the cleaning stage. Your gell is very thin. If you need to buff, chances are there isn't enough left of the jelcoat.<br />I've read here and on other sites of a product called "OFF and ON" that is supposed to be da bomb,but have no first-hand knowledge of it.
