Compound and Waxing

[SouthPaw]

Almost at that point in my spring prep. Was curious as to the methods that others use for this process. How and what you use would be what I'm looking for. Thanks.

This year I am using something called nautical ease.  Cleaner, then their Polymer polish. Supposedly, 6 coats of polish is = to 1 coat of lacquer.

3 coats of the polish is recommended. It is supposed to go on and come off SUPER easy (3 coats should take same time to apply as 1 coat of Collonite wax).

I have heard really good things about it, it was not expensive at all.

Since I have sooo much stuff to do to the boat this year, I plan on paying someone to wash, use the cleaner and apply the 3 coats of polish to topsides and hull ( a guy I know who does boat detailing on the side).  For $200, I can't complain.

Next year, since I shouldn't have anything to do to the boat really, I plan on doing it myself (with an orbital buffer/polisher)..
