Default Help selecting a buffer

Hi Mike, I need some help selecting which buffer will work best for my needs.

I just bought a 2002 Proline 23 sport center console and it's in decent condition but could definitely use some attention.

The sides of the hull arent too bad, they still shine minimally and if there's and oxidation i cant see it. The tops of the gunwales and the stern/transom however are in bad shape. There's little to no shine, they get stained very easily, and there's even some chalkiness in certain spots. I attached a few pictures to give you an idea.

This buffer will be for personal use only. Ill be using it a few times per year on my boat and maybe once a year on my car. I have zero experience using a buffer and dont want to go overboard if i dont have to, but im not afraid to spend a little extra to get the right tool. Ive been looking at the marine 31 porter cable complete oxidation removal/polish kit as it seems the safest for the gel coat (burning the gel coat is a concern of mine). Please let me know your opinion, im excited to order the buffer and get the boat cleaned up.
