Being not as young as I used to be I need some help waxing the boat! No, I will do the work but need a recommendation on a buffer. Will one of the buffer wheels you can get for a drill do the job or would a dedicated buffer be better?

Mothers Power Ball and Marine wax works good and the Power Ball works from a drill.

Ive got a 10″ orbital that I use…. but am thinking of adding a 7″ specifically for the boat… the 10″ is great for most of the hull… but the areas around the decks, consoles and transom would be better done with the smaller head. Catman is right I think I paid $20 for the 10″ (Turtle Wax brand)… and the 7″ is a little less…
