I faced the same situation last season. Bought the $29 buffer at West
Marine and also a combination compound/wax (West Marine brand). It did
a nice job removing 12 years' worth of crud from the hull, leaving a
wax finish. There's enough left in the container for this year, too.
Washing the hull first is a good idea, too.

Anyone have any thoughts they'd like to share on how to clean and
wax the C27 hull, and what products you'd suggest? I'm entering my
4th season as owner of Eos, and have never cleaned or waxed the
hull. There are brown rust stains (ubiquitous from the Chesapeake
environs) I'd like to remove, and undoubtedly some oxidation that
could use buffing. I'm thinking of getting an orbital random buffer
and pads to do the buffing/waxing job, and I could use some tips.
