For removing haze and oxidation, and high gloss factory original gloss, you want to use 3M's IMPERIAL COMPOUND AND FINISHING MATERIAL, #06044, which comes in a qt bottle, black and purple color. It's not cheap, about $45/qt, but worth every penny and then some. It has fast initial cut, then converts to a highly refined micro-finishing (glossing) process.

I have been buffing and maintaining my Whalers for years, and most say they look pretty incredible for their age. But I newly discovered this stuff, and it is like nothing I have ever used before. I just did my 25 Outrage, and it has never looked so glossy since I bought it new 20 years ago! It's not easy to find in boat stores, and West Marine does not carry it, although they should.

Use a fluffy wool pad on your machine (this stuff is not for hand use except very small hard to reach areas), and you can follow up with 3M's FINESSE-IT II if you want, but it may not be needed. Then Collinite #925 pure Boat Wax.

This is the best product I have ever used for glossing up a gelcoat hull.
