Paging Bluemoons - Boat waxing questions

I have a thread bookmarked where you said this:
I see there are two types of Finese it II. 3M Finesse-It II Machine Polish (05928) and 3M Marine Finesse-it II Glaze (35928). Do you recommend one over the other? I see both can be used on gel coat / fiberglass.
Also, do you have a particular Detail Spray you recommend to break up the Collenite 885, if needed?
Pulling boat out of water today and plan to wax next week.
TIA

my process would be:
1. Wash the boat.
2. Dry with waffle towel/microfiber.
3. Apply Finesse-It II with orange LC pad to the entire boat, working in small sections. Remove with microfiber towel.
4. Apply Collinite 885 with a blue or red LC pad. Work in sections that are small enough to avoid letting the product completely dry. Remove with microfiber and use detail spray if necessary.
I do the above to my boat once a year, and compound where necessary.

Hey man, sorry for the delay. Haven’t been on TD as much lately.
My experience is solely with the glaze (link posted by blacksheep), but that’s just because of my process. I find it sufficient on its own to remove minor paint problems, and it’s good to follow up 3M rubbing compound for heavier issues. It will remove haze or swirls from compounding.
As for detail spray, anything will do. They have plenty of options at any local auto parts store and I generally just pick up whatever is available. I just checked my detail box and the type I’ve currently got is Meguiars quick detail spray.
Thanks for the post. This just reminded me of the day’s worth of paintwork I need to do on my skiff
