Hello.

Polishing my O'Day 22 with Shurhold Yacht Bright Buff Magic. This is my first time ever doing this. I think that I have the technique down for putting on about a 1'x1' square and using my random orbit buffer to do that section and strait up and down. I apply it fairly heavy and work it up to the rail and back down to the waterline.

The thing I keep finding is that you can see the different sections after I move on. Is there something I am missing in either my earlier steps or something that would help keep the sections blended together.

Now I haven't done the final polish with the Pro Polish. Will it blend in when I do that step?

Also, I did not do any steps before starting the polish. Do I need to do anything to strip the wax before using the buffing compound?

Thanks for the help in advance!
