What do you guys use to polish a ski?

I have used the orginal pledge furniture polidh, this has put a nice shine on things but was curious what you guys use.

I'm Polish, you can use me LOL
Anyways a light scrub polishning paste first then car wax... makes wonders!

If it's really bad, use 800 grit wet sand paper, then rubbing compound, then polishing compound. Sometimes it takes 2-3 tries after sanding, and it's work, but the result is excellent most of the time. The wet sanding, IMO, works great on badly faded skis, but no heavier grit paper than 800.

On older skis that I've picked up I've use my Porter Cable 7424 orbital polisher. Judging by how bad the paint is I will use either a cutting pad with a cutting or just start with a polishing pad to remove swirls and enhance the swirl, followed by a wax pad, with a good quality wax.

Basically car quality stuff, read here if interested:

It made my FX1 look like new again on the upper deck anyway.
