[QUOTE="PATRIOT, post: 354747, member: 8891"] Progress report . . . finished off the first stage, which is the cutting with brown tripoly, using a yellow 8" treated buffing wheel running at 6000rpms. Took approx 3/4 pounds of compound to do this 16' deep-V hull. The wheel is 50ply spiral stitched treated cotton (for hardness) but it loads up quickly with aluminum oxide. I'm wondering if it's the style of wheel or the 6000rpms speed or a combination of the two. The "professional" in the video did a much larger area before having to "rake" the wheel. I'm anxious to see if the final polishing stage using fine white compound will remove the lines and swirl marks. [/QUOTE]
