Thanks for the response and the welcome. I recently bought a harbor freight rotary and a Griot's Garage 6" orbital. I plan to apply the color restorer with a wool pad with the rotary. Do you recommend the AIO with the rotary or the orbital with the foam pad?
White pad in the Lake Country brand?

I would be using either AIO after the color restorer so that should remove the oxidation. It sounds like the Blackfire total polish and seal should do the job, right?

I recently applied the Blackfire (two coats) to the exterior of my hull and it gives it a good look. It's tough to tell if I'm applying product on the white hull and it doesn't feel like pressing it into the hull would make a difference but I'll give it a try. I had someone clean it and I'm pretty sure they used a cleaner wax with a rotary on the exterior. I washed with Dawn before I applied the blackfire. The guy really didn't do a good job on the inside so I'm going to tackle that.
