The oxidation on my boat has gotten pretty bad and to make it worse its a black boat. I got some 3m rubbing compound and 800 grit 1000 grit and 1500 grit sandpaper. Started with the 800. After sanding i rubbed the compound in until the swirls were gone. Then put a good coat of turtle wax over that. It looks great but i can see the sanding swirls in it, but can only see up close. Looks awesome up against the rest of the boat. Any one have advice before i do the rest of the boat ive seen another forum that kinda gave me an idea. In other words i just don't wanna ruin my boat. (i only did a 1 ft section just to try it out) Thanks
