I'm trying to shine my '76 Ranger back up. I has always been garage kept but has some oxidation. What is a good compound that I can use to remove the oxidation? Also will I need a buffer or can it be done by hand? Lastly, should I put a coat of wax on the boat after I remove the oxidation?

depends on how far you want to go...
wet sand/buff with compound ?
rubbing compound by hand?
either way is a lot of work...and IMO you should always put a good coat or two of wax after removing the oxidation
personally I don't worry about mine...that's why I have a 78 ranger...

3m makes a good cutting compound, if you follow that with their grey polishing compound and a good coat of pro tec wax you will have a nice shine. Depending on the amount of oxidation you may need to wet sand if that is required start with 800-1000 grit and work up to 1500 and 3000 followed by buffing process. A good variable speed buffer would save a lot of time.
