Lou Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 How can I get my model to shine? I have used the 2 part model masters paint then clear coat set up, with wet sanding; however, I'm still getting a somewhat flat body color. Is there a automotive polishing compound that I can apply (without hurting the previous layers) to get the paint to really stand out? At-home Alternatives? Thanks Guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf15 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Novus 2 for polishing , Final Treatment Detail Wax for waxing and finish ! Micro Mark carries the products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Pretty hard to beat the Micromesh polishing kits which have been, and still are, sold by a number of different outlets. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Are you putting on enough coats of clear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I usually put down 2-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Scratch X may help you also. As one poster said Novus # 2 is pretty good and I use it often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKcustoms Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Meguiars scratch x is the best compound I've found yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Just try to keep in mind that you don't want to put any paint over a polishing compound... After you paint and clear, then use the compound..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
