I've read the majority of oxidation solutions here, watched YouTube videos, researched etc. and decided to buy a Porter Cable orbital, Hexlogic pads and used Starbrite premium cleaner wax with the orange cutting pad. This hardly phased the topside oxidation you see in the picture. I made multiple passes, medium pressure, 4-5 on the RPMs. Per all the threads here I think I need a rotary buffer with wool. Although my compound, which isn't really a compound probably isn't aggressive enough either. Would you say the oxidation in the pic is aggressive and agree that I move forward with a rotary and wool pad? I was trying to be least aggressive to get the job done. But I'm tired of buying stuff and falling short. Also regarding compounds, most of the manufacturers having varying degrees of cutting compounds. Would Presta's Super Cut be appropriate or too agressive? There's also heavy and medium, 3M, Meguires etc. also have different cutting levels.
The top side is worst on the boat with some areas not that bad. Should I use rotary and wool on the whole boat or use orbital on some sections?
I've also attached a pic of the textured floor. What's best for this? I was thinking wool with Super Cut may cut off the texture.
Lastly I have curved decals I don't want to take off with rotary. What's the best tape I can put over curved decals? Blue paint tape doesn't do curves all that well.
Thank you!
