Re: Cleaning Chalk on the hull

Just a tip on handling a buffer
The pad should be a little larger than the spindle makes the buffer more forgiving ( i like the lock loop style)
This is very important
never press down on the buffer just let the pad FLOAT on the BOAT
never stay in one place keep the buffer moving
never let the compound get dry

On buffers
try to get a varible speed (more for giving you can slow it down and work at your own pace)
and all the top brands are good I just prefer an air buffer sander its lighter

^Agreed. Posted in #10 is an option.

There are a number of major brands from 3m to Meguires. The polish should be about removing lines/swirls. It adds no protection. You finish with a wax with UV inhibitors after you polish to a smooth and shiny finish.
