I have an older Silverton 34C, the hull looks great, no oxidation or dull spots what so ever however the topside (house and bridge) is a different story, depending on the angle you look at it you can see blotchy areas (almost like previous wax products have dried) it's been like this since I purchased the boat, I've tried several compounds with both a rotary Makita buffer and wool pads, a porter cable 7424 with foam pads and the results have been less that satisfactory, still the blotchy areas remain. Lately I've used Presta's Ultra cutting compound then Presta's Ultra finishing polish (both by wheel) then finally Collinite's paste fleet wax by hand, any thoughts or recommendations on how to rid myself of these problem areas?
