[quote=charlescarlis]I prefer the right McGuire's as well; way above the 3M, which is good, but the McGuire's seems to be easier to work with. I've always done 800, then buffing compound, then polishing compound (I forget the numbers, but will check at home), both for clear coat/hard epoxy and gel coat. Variable speed buffer set on a slow speed with waffle pad is the best (800 grit by hand only and lightly). Don't let the compound dry too quickly so the pad stays relatively cool. I end up destroying a waffle pad per boat/session by the end... A car, I get 2 or 3 sessions out of them but I also push the buffing just barely through the dry=phase with oblique lighting to make it go faster.[/quote]
