I am helping my FIL detail a boat so we can get it sold. It is oxidized but not in horrible shape. On a scale of 1-10 where 1 is awful gelcoat that seems almost brittle and 10 is new, I would put it as a 6. Here is my game plan: Using this HF polisher: Sander/Polisher - 7 Speed Electric Sander...

Well shucks, that's not what I wanted to hear.

How can I connect that to this? Porter-Cable 7424 6-Inch Variable Speed Random-Orbit Polisher - Amazon.com

Seriously! Looks like I have some reading to do. Thanks!

Or 80, 120,220 and 320 grit sandpaper....it is getting painted with Alexseal.

Couldn't tell you yet. It just came in the mail, I bought it primarily to restore a 15' Boston Whaler.

Bingo, thanks! I will put in an order asap for the backing plate and for 3 or so pads. Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Yeah but my sander didn't come with anything for the pads to attach to. Do they attach to that hook and loop thing I posted above?

I have the Porter Cable 97466 which is basically the same as the 2 listed below but with dust collection. Is this all I need to get started? If not what else? Porter Cable Product Details for 6" Polishing Foam Pad - Model # 54745 My polisher: Amazon.com: Porter-Cable 97466 6-Inch Random Orbit...
