❓ Expert Q&A
While possible on already smooth surfaces, you'll get the best mirror finish by completing all three steps: Coarse → Fine → Finish. Each step prepares the surface for the next.
Extremely little! A rice grain-sized amount covers a large area. The 22ml tube will last for many complete models - it's incredibly concentrated.
Yes! Finish compound is specifically designed to enhance metallic finishes and is safe for all clear coats. It actually deepens the metallic effect beautifully.
Tamiya Finish is specifically formulated for scale model plastics and paints. It's much finer than car polish and won't damage delicate model surfaces or details.
Yes, but be very gentle. Use low speed with felt pads and light pressure. Hand polishing often gives better control for this final step.
