After much thought and taking into consideration a lot of the feedback received here, I've decided to go the compound/polish/wax route -- either way is going to require a lot of work before I can even come close to acheiving the finish Halekai gets. I am humbled
. Found a good deal on a Makita polisher and hope to post photos in a week or so that I can be proud of. This weekend is bottom scraping time...
Anyone want to buy a Ryobi buffer?
