If the hull is chalky use a "heavy duty rubbing compound" 3M, Meguire's make good products. If the hull is faded, it will suck up the compound. The key is technique.

Try to be in the shade. Direct sun will make it a bit harder.

Use a wool bonnet on a 6-8" diameter variable speed polisher. Apply the compound in an X to the bonnet (on the polisher) and work a small 2' x 2' area. Buff till the compound looks dry. Apply again to same area and buff till almost dry. After 2 rounds, wipe off excess compound completely. Wipe the surface with your hand. It should feel smooth and be shiny. IF not smooth, repeat. When done, work new adjoining area.

If the outside hull is chalky and has bottom paint, I would estimate it will take you 3 or 4 bottles of compound and 4-6 hrs of work to do the hull and insides (not console or floor) for this step.

Report back on your progress and we can help with technique and/or products.

The next step will be a finish compound like 3M Finess-it II. Follow directions. Final step is boat wax.
