I think I bought the same buffer last year, and returned it after I burned it
out. I had to compound the boat twice and wax twice due to oxidation build up,
boat was new to me and had been out of the water for 2 yrs. This year I have
only had to put one coat of wax on and it looks good, though I will do a second
coat before we splash. My yard recommends and I use, Royal Marine by Simonize.
I apply with a microfiber applicator and buff off with the black and decker
buffer. Like Mr. Miagi said.........wax on , wax off. Does anyone know a good
masseuse?...lol
