re: Ceramic Coating for boats

All looks good to me. IMO the red and blue LC pads are kind of interchangeable when it comes to gelcoat. I have both and use whichever one is clean at the time when applying Collinite. With clearcoat on vehicles, I always try to use the softest pad possible, so I typically try to wax with the blue pad. Splitting hairs though.

If you got some change in your pocket, go ahead and buy a 3" backing plate with some 3.5" pads too. Totally unnecessary but it helps for the hard to reach places like under the steering wheel, in between cupholders, etc. I normally just apply product to those areas by hand, but you can never have too many tools .
