Laser hull discolouration

Car body shop Mops are best, but like Rupert says you need to be really careful not to burnn through the gel.  Make sure the pad is always moist by using a water spray.  They are very expensive to buy so renting one with a sponge head is probably the best option.  I would also be carfeul on classes with thing gel.  The laser is prime for a MOP!

You can compound without a polisher, but you might get tennis elbow in the process.

Thanks for the tips!

I believe there are car waxes that have a UV filtering capability, and that ought to reduce fading.

Try T-cut first, but the abrasive in T-cut is very fine and may not dig deep enough to remove the discoloured surface layer.
Next step would be to get your hands on some Farecla G3 or 3m perfect-it 09374.
Wet & dry would cut the surface off but 600 is very fierce, 2000 or 1200 at the most, use wet on a soft block (eg. polystyrene) and don't waste time with knackered paper, it's a consumeable!
