I am almost done restoring my boat. it was heavily oxidized and full of mossy growth from sitting for around 4 years. I washed it, acid washed it, washed it again with hull cleaner, block sanded with 180 grit and then again with 220 and a final light 400 grit wet sand. this took all the chalky junk off and it looks good. my question is should i still use a rubbing compound over this boat before waxing or can i go right to waxing? didnt the sanding do what the compounding would have done or is there something special about rubbing compound?
