i have no idea on buffing a boat but ive worked in a body shop for 5 years (mostly in the paint dept)  and i know what 3M does to paint jobs,  very good products  *thumbs up*

their extra cut compound will take out 1500 grit scratches no problem (if you plan on wet sanding)  they have a product called "perfect-it"  that is less abrasive than the extra cut but has a hard time taking out sanding scratches on its own,  itll bring back the shine really well (id imagine your oxidation)  then they have a couple polishes....the perfect-it line of polish is great stuff "gray color"  take your time with this stuff cuz yes if you get the panel hot it will burn through.  then they have the new stuff which is called ultrafina "blue color"  and that will remove the perfect it swirl marks.

personally what id do is try the "perfect-it" compound first and see if that helps without sanding (it has a special yellow wool pad)  and finish it with the gray polish with the gray foam pad

if you have questions feel free to ask         just my .02     -brian-[/QUOTE]
