I second what SHINE said, but another option that has been working for me lately is that I have been getting away from wool and starting with a red foam and I have been liking Meguires ultra cut. If its a true Gel coat like boats, I always lean pretty good on that right side of the wheel when cutting to the right. Doesnt burn like a thin clear coat.

Last year I buffed out my old Donzi but first wet sanded the really dull surfaces with 1000,1500,& 2000 paper before buffing with 3M. Gelcoat is super hard stuff.
