I have been using Meguiars products on cars and boats for decades with great results but it's time to update my system to take advantage of newer products and reflect the fact that my boat is much older and the gelcoat is more worn. My old system for boats consisted of rotary/DA orbital/hand applied, 49/44/45/56, wool/cutting/polishing pads. I have some questions to help me get started trying some new combinations.
1) Is most to least aggressive imperfection removal?:
91
67
49
44
50/61
63/56
2) Is the new 2.0 pad system enough of an improvement to invest in new backer plates and pads and if so, how are they better?
3) I see that many of the products are listed as either machine or hand applied/removed. Which produces better looking results?
4) When using a machine, are the above products better as hand apply on and machine off or machine on, hand remove?
5) A boat in similar shape as mine was really brought back to life and in talking to the detailer he uses a different approach than I am used to. He omits any 91/67/49/44 even though there is oxidation and instead does multiple rounds of cleaner wax ending with pure wax. Is this a good approach?
Thanks,
George
