Appreciate all the comments! You guys have motivated me to do it myself. What products do you all recommend?
I mean everyone has their preferences. Depending on oxidation levels you'll either want to start with a combo compound/wax, or a straight compound. I find that in most cases (90+%) that a compound/wax combo such as 3M's is more than adequate. You'll want to apply nice and thick by hand in small sections, get a little on your wheel, and then buff at low-ish (1000-1500 RPM's) back and forth till you see the shine. Do the same with a high quality wax after, then the same with a non-abrasive polish to seal it all. (you won't need so much polish) Finish it by buffing with a very slightly moist (I hate that word too) microfibre cloth by hand to eliminate any buffing/wax swirls. I used 3m products in the spring, and my boat still beads water.
