Craig, My blue hull is oxidized too and I'd like to bring it back. I have a 9" compounder and a Cyclo random orbital polisher which I've used to polish a vintage Airstream trailer. I'm guessing that polishing fiberglass is a lot easier than aluminum, but I'm a bit confused i.e. rubbing compound, Penetrol(?), Poliglow, Vertglass.
I wonder if you could give us a brief tutorial on bringing back and keeping the shine on our boats? BTW, my boat has repaired gouges, but the color match is so bad that I wish they were left alone. I went through a similar thing when polishing my Airstream. The experts advised me to leave the gouges and large scratches alone and just polish them, kind of adds character. I think they were right.
