Renewing gel coat

[bmajvi]

I know it's been touched on before, and everybody has their favorite products and techniques, but what are your current thoughts and recommendations re: cutting/buffing/waxing the topsides on our old (yellow) '76 Sceptre? I don't think it'll actually need wet sanding, but expect to do some fairly aggressive compounding in a couple areas. I have a cheapo buffing machine and foam pads. Thanks!
