FYI...  best wax is Carnuba wax. It's what is in everyones product that wants to work. Period.
The best products in each brand's line use Carnauba wax. Carnauba is a natural wax from the leaves of the Carnauba Palm in northern Brazil. It has a natural ability to retain oil, will not react with paint, and has excellent gloss properties. In its original state, it's as hard as concrete, so it must be mixed with oils or chemicals to soften it. (Manufacturers use various softening methods.)
Carnauba wax produces a very hard film to protect the vehicle's surface. The amount of Carnauba in various brands of car waxes ranges from 3% to 70%, says. Note that a label that reads "100% Carnauba," such as Mother's Pure Carnauba Wax, means that the wax component is all Carnauba, without other kinds of wax. But there must be other materials in the mixture to make the Carnauba useable.
Now polishing is another level all in it's self!    good read at --->http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:dHn1rfMAz8oJ:www.cartest.ca/cleaning_polishing__waxing.htm+carnauba+wax&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=ca

Thats all we use 100% carnauba. I have also been using Leverage which is pretty amazing it doesnt have any carnauba in it but leaves the boat slick water beads off and if you step on the deck you will end up on your ass.

You can go to Auto Zone and get Turtle Wax Rubbing and Polishing compounds.  You'll need an electric buffer.  What grit of sand paper did you finish with?

You could get by with going to just 2000 grit and the rubbing it out and polishing it, maybe even get by with 1500.  Then save your money and do a complete paint job.  Hell, try just 600 grit and polish an area.  You'd be surprised at how good that will do.

Easy to take it from that stage, though hard to find good 3000grit sand paper (of quality and consistancy in grain)
I would finish with 2000grit Meguiar's sand paper (w/d), best in the world (insert sales ad here  ;D) and follow with there
#49 or #91 cleaning products.  See link-----> http://marinerv.meguiars.com/product/Gel-Coat-Clean
Then your ready to follow up with there polish #45 http://marinerv.meguiars.com/product/Gel-Coat-Polish
Lots of tips and info on the Meguiar's web site, easy to follow, and professional results  ;D   
You'll love the look of your new boat finish...   but get a electric polisher...  with speed control!  a good one will cost $200+
Only way to go and your arms will thank you  >:D
