Yes but you want to stick with foam cutting pads.

I'm not sure why but gel-coat doesn't like soft pads when polishing. From what I've seen, soft foam pads can even dull down the gloss created by wool pads or foam cutting pads.

I like the Lake Country blue 6.5" Hybrid and the blue RUPES 6" or 7" foam cutting pads.
