Which polishing pad and backing pad appropriate to restore the oxidized gel coat of my 36 ft sailboat?

I would start with medium pad first. Usually medium grit will remove most light scratches and dulled paint

How do this perform with a force rotation da polisher like the makita

They will perform just fine with a gear driven tool like the LK900.

Do you guys recommend washing the car again after using the clay bar and before the polishing step?

I recommend clay bar prior to polishing. The clay bar process. Help remove the embedded dirts and grimes, that the wash cannot removes. Which help reduce the chances of reducing scratches. When you polishing your car.
