Winnipesaukee Forum - View Single Post - 3M Finesse-It II, and Surhold Buff-Magic: have you used both?

Rich,
I tried the Buff Magic Last year after seeing all the internet videos and claims. I thought it did an ok job, but it did clog the pad frequently.

Finesse it is nice because it works a lot easier. I've mostly used it for gel coat repairs and returning the shine from the sanding process. Not sure how well it works on chalky oxidized gel coat.

this year I tried 3M Imperial Compound and Finishing Material and found this to be the best, at least for some mildly oxidized gel coat. It brought back a very nice shine and was easier to work than the buff magic.

Hope this helps.

Mike
