Not if you follow the recommendation I posted above because both our cleaner/waxes in the Marine 31 line are save for both gel-coat and painted surfaces.

I am pretty sure that's the way I want to go.
For buffing out your Waverunners I'd go with a Porter Cable and a good selection of pads and chemicals. You can also use the PC on all your cars and trucks.

The rotary is a powerful tool and I use these tools all the time but they will impart their own scratch pattern. Read my article here,

Our next class is in August, we should have the weekend date in concrete next week. Probably be either Saturday the 15th or the 22nd.
