the 3m stuff is the best , you need farecla G6 & G3, readily available at any motor factors, an electric polisher is essential for a good result.

Gav;
What does the 3M stuff - Farecla G6 & G3 do?
Why 3 compounds?

And yes, I too have a borrowed electric polisher.

Roger mate, I spoke with Alan who worked with Steve at Sittingbourne some time ago. He told me "you'll never get through the Gel Coat with Rubbing Compound", but I have my doubts!
I have in the past used 1500 grade wet & dry with 'loadsa' water with no detrimental effects, but how long befor the Gel Coat wears out is a problem!
