Some time ago I had finally had enough of the dull and pasty looking hull that I had inherited from the previous owner. Drawing upon the advice of Maine Sail in his Sailnet article on the subject, I compounded, polished, and waxed the hull. Some time later I did the same to the deck and the cabin top. There was a steep learning curve, but I eventually got the hang of it. I crank-out push-ups on a regular basis. Despite this, the buffer was a real bear, and my arms, neck, and back took a real beating. I'm no body-builder, but I can't imagine trying to do this without being half-way in shape. Tough, but worth it.
Here are a couple of pictures. The one of the deck shows what it looked like after I had completed the buffing - no polish or wax.
