Are both the Imron and the gel-coat white in color?
Imron is a very good polishing paint in my experience and you want to treat it like car paint, that is use the same types of products you would use for car paint for the Imron.
The Wolfgang Uber Compound is a very high quality compound that will tackle just about anything. It's rated at being able to pull out #1200 grit sanding marks with a wool pad on a rotary buffer yet it finishing out like a fine finishing polish.
It's not available on the Marine31.com website but it is available on our sister site, Autogeek.net
It costs more that most compounds but if you're about doing the job right the first time and you don't want to use simple "Rocks in a bottle" type compounds then it's worth it's weight in gold.
Here's my article that includes some info on Wolfgang Uber Compound

RFulmer coined this term, (due credit where credit is due), and since there's been a lot of questions about what each product is, what they do, the order of aggressiveness and when you use one over the other, here's some info...
Uber Compound - Aggressive Compound - More aggressive than Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover and Wolfgang Finishing Glaze.
- For use with any type of polisher/buffer and can be used by hand.
