discussion Another polishing question.....

[PaulTRose]

....... Cos i really dont know

Ive never been one for polishing cos ive been happy with how things have turned out but i want to try it.... So i bought some tamiya fine compound and some lint free cloths......... But what the order of things?

Do i polish the paint to get it smooth then clear coat.... Then polish again?.......... Or clear coat and polish just once??..... Or what?

Muchos gracias for any help provided

There's no need to polish the paint if you are going to clearcoat over it.

As long as it is pretty smooth that's fine, it doesn't need to be particularly shiny as your clear will do that job for you, then polish that once fully cured.
