Polishing Set
for Pocher 1:8 and other model car kits
for Pocher 1:8 and other model car kits
Each polishing set includes 6 sheets of cushioned abrasive cloths in
2400, 3200, 3600, 4000, 6000, and 8000 grits,
a soft foam sanding block, a bottle of liquid polish*, and a soft flannel polishing cloth.
* note: the liquid polish is not allowed in international shipments because of security regulations
Use this polishing kit to smooth the "orange peel" surface of a rough paint job, or put a mirror finish on good paint. Works on all painted surfaces, varnished wood, and bare plastics. It is also invaluable for creating varied finishes on raw metal parts, ranging anywhere from a dull sheen to a chrome-like shine. This is the polishing system I use on all of my models. It does take some patience and time, but you will be amazed at the difference between the "shiny" [see note below] paint job you used to be happy with, and the new mirror smooth finish that is possible with this kit.
note: "Shiny" paint can be achieved with or without polishing, especially if clear coated. The shine is the result of the paint drying properly, and means the microscopic top surface of the paint is reflecting light well. If you look at the reflections in that shiny paint, however, you will almost always notice they are wavy and distorted. This is because the overall surface of the paint is not smooth. Proper body prep can help avoid this wavy surface, but all the top automotive restoration shops sand and polish their paint after it has dried to achieve a concours quality finish, and your models will look best when finished this way as well.
"The Final Detail" Model Wax is the perfect companion to this polishing kit.
