Use a foam pad not the wool. Wool is very aggressive and you can burn through the gel coat very quickly. Use a slow speed on the machine 1500 until you get better. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

You'll need a bucket of rubbing compund the blue stuff by Fiberlay is excellent - a commercial buffer with a sheepskin pad and a brush to clean the used compund out of the pad as you go along. If possible, it's best done when the boat is on the hard. Apply the compound to a small area and buff until it's all gone and the gel coat shines. Then apply a coat of good quality paste wax the same way. Simple. Do this until you can't lift your arms any more or until your bored stupid, whichever comes first.
