I used the foam pads for a 7 inch orbital after I took the old decals off my boat. You could easily see the color difference after 14 years of having them on there. Those pads and some buffing/rubbing compound has it looking new and like they were never there.

Edit: Foam pads from Harbor Freight.

I got to spend some time on a test spot last night.

Unless i want to compound the same area 7 times its going to be wet sanding.

Maybe if it was a white boat it wouldn't need it but the colored hull sides need that 1000 grit to knock off the heavy layer.

The top side is going to be fine with just compound, polish, and wax.

I guess this old boat hasn't had any wax in the last 15 years.
