    Rotary Buffer or DA?

    If a DA, you can look into a cutting pad, the gel coat is a bit tougher than auto paint.

      It is also going to depend on what type of polish or compound you are going to be using. We need more info to make a solid recommendation for you.

        As the other guys mentioned, it will really help to know what kind of buffer you're using - DA or rotary. There are so many combinations available, and which you choose will depend not just on the tool used, but the condition of the boat and your skill/experience level.

        Have a read through this write up of a badly oxidized boat we corrected here in our own garage a while back - it may give you some pointers and suggestions.
