Alonfire Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I started using Spraymax 2K clear in a rattle can and am impressed with the results . I always sand and polish by hand but thought I'd have a go with a small polishing mop in the pillar drill and the initial results looked great and very shiney . I carried on using 3M finnesse on the body and gave it a wipe over when done and noticed it was very dull . I now can't get a shine on the thing no matter what I do it just looks dull and slightly opaque. I cleared the body about a week ago. Where did i go wrong ? PS the bits i did first still have a shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pestvic Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I just saw this stuff online, i was going to give it a try. Before I do, could you let me know how you got to buffing this stuff? Thanks Pics would be awesome too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Pics would be awesome too its a 2 part catalyzed varnish. If he was having issues, it was mostly like faulty workmanship (no offense alonfire), but dirty pads, wrong pads, wrong compounds, wrong sanding techniques, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 It's easier to buff 2 part finishes within the buffing window...for the 2 part varnish I use I sand to micromesh 12000 24 hours after spraying,then I wait a couple of days and buff.Waiting any longer than that lets it get too hard and buffing becomes a serious chore. The durability of such finishes is a double edged sword,if you don't pay attention to the cure times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
