Phil, is there a:

heavy duty compound
regular duty compound
wax

that you'd recommend?

How would you describe "Finness-It"? Is it a light compound?

Finally have you used the 3M "Restorer and Wax" product? I used it on the port side of my 1979 22' Revenge last weekend and it did a pretty good job. That was the first time I attempted to wax a boat and I ran out of time before it got too hot/sunny. I hope to do the starboard side next time I'm at the lake.

I used the 3M "Wool Compounding Pad" Part # 05703. It is a dual sided wool pad and was recommended (along with the Restorer and Wax) by a guy who has detailed our 1983 18' GTX and did a pretty good job.

Thanks!
