[Public-List] Source for Finesse-It in Canada?

[Don Lang]

No worries; 
Perfect It III is not as harsh as the stuff for fiberglass, is easier to use, and looks great.
Over 90 percent of the vessels we detail are gelcoat (we do more than 50 boats a season).
If you have a very oxidized vessel go for the heavy cutter, otherwise you are better off using a milder compound.
Repeated use of a heavier cutter will reduce the mil thickness of your gelcoat much more rapidly over time and is much harder on painted names, stripes, decals, etc.
Perfect It III is a one step product that most of the marine detail shops use here. You can get it through Napa (not to be confused with perfect 3000).
They use it with a high speed buffer with a foam back pad and a seven inch wool buffing pad (available from napa)
It will cut a moderately oxidized vessel with no trouble and leaves the finish with a corvette shine. ;-P

Do be careful that you get the stuff for fiberglass.  I wonder that the 
automotive stuff might be too harsh - unless it might be for a Corvette 
;-) .  I don't know.  Maybe the fiberglass rubbing compound is tougher 
than the automotive paint compound.  Looking at my '89 Toyota, the paint 
doesn't look as good as on my '73 Alberg!  Of course fiberglass doesn't 
rust!
