here goes what I am doing on my 2556 so badly oxidized from 30 years of never being waxed i pretty much tried everything to get the shine back finally wet/dry sanding starting with 800 paper going to 1000 then 2000 followed by buff magic from shurfold with orbital buffer and then 3m wax and final with variable high sped buffer ,lots of work but thats where i am on mine boat to get the shine back

So I am painting half my boat this weekend. From the rub rail down I am painting it white due to scratches, nicks, and a wide red stripe I really don't like. After rolling and tipping on plexiglass to practice I was surprised at the finish. So I tried a 3 foot section on the actual boat hull for S & Gs. It also came out surprising well. How ever I noticed that there is about a 2 or 3 shade of white difference from the current hull white to the new white paint. I cant imagine why the rest of the hull isn't really that white as well but just oxidized or something. Can anyone give me pointers on what I can to bring that high gloss white back to the rest of the boat hull. I could paint it but that is a lot of extra work and way to many nooks and crannies to roll n tip it.
