I used wool bonnets for all the compounding and a foam head for waxing.

If your hull is chalky (run your finger on the surface), you want to start by wet sanding. Non-skid is different.

If heavily dull, start with heavy duty rubbing compound followed by 3M Finness-It and then wax.

If mildly dull, start with regular compound followed by 3M Finness-It and then wax.

A full inside and outside compound and waxing will take 8 hrs or more, twice as much if chalky.
