[monkeynuts]

as said above it what we use at work and people pay a lot of money for it

g3 then a good old wax and some hard work

done ours a couple of months ago, she was looking pretty sad! used the g3 on a heavy duty mop (saves a lot of work and gives a better finnish )this stuff realy lifts the crap out .then gave it 2 coats of a good wax. she came up like brand new.highly slippery!!! fareclare who make the g3 (get it from car body work supplyers or on e bay dont need much. ) also do a finer grade of compound and also some polish which i havent tryed but ive heard that its good. forget the t cut. good luck with it pete make you sweat but well worth it.

I once worked finishing citroen roamahome vans. I`m sure we used g7, not sure if this was lighter or heavier than g3 but it wasnt that fierce. Mind you, it was strait out of the mould.

the g7 is a lighter grade i find that the g3 will do a better job on the boat hulls and will take out any stains.
