Hi all - I have recently become obsessed with a perfect polished finish for my models ?
I have purchased a hobby rotary tool and follow the process below when it comes to polishing:
1. Sand with micromesh up 12000
2. Tamiya Polishing compound - Coarse, Fine, Finish (using polishing pads)
3. Mr Hobby ceramic compound (polishing cloth)
4. Final polish with rotary tool using Meguiar's carnauba wax
Its a process I learned from the fantastic "Scale Model Experiment" you tube channel (check it out he is great). Unfortunately, when I complete the final polish with the rotatory tool it introduces scratches. Its very frustrating. Has anyone had an experience with this? I suspect its the head I am using, or is the tool too powerful? Can any one who has done this successfully recommend what type of heads to buy? I have attached a photo of the tool and head I use. FYI I am using Mr Hobby Super Clear as my clear coat (lacquer based)
Thanks in advance!
Andrew
