We recommend Altex NO#5 antifoul for your general purpose & good all round Antifouling.  Make sure it is compatable with the existing surface prior to application. You can read about the specs here

What does cutting and polishing my boat really mean?

Cutting and polishing boats is also commomnly known as buffing boats, boat detailing, boat valeting etc.  Cutting & ploishing means to cut the surface with a coarse compound bring the surface back to new.  Polishing means to use less abrhasive compounds to restore gloss & remove the swirl marks from the cutting process which was performed first.

Do I need propspeed?

No, but it really does work well.  Propspeed helps your boats fuel efficency, drag and having a clean prop will help the engine when it is powered up by reducing the load.  Basically, Baricles & weeds growing on your prop is not good. So the answer is no but BoatBoys recommend using propspeed or a similar product.
