discussion Tamiya Model Wax/Polishing Wax?

[Dave Ward]

I've been watching some YouTube videos on making cars & Tamiya Model Wax/Polishing Wax seems to be commonly used. It seems to be pretty pricey, & not commonly available in the UK. Any idea what's special about this? Would any good quality full-size car wax work as well?

Not tried it Dave, but if it’s as good as their polishing compounds then I’d say it was definitely worth it. Working through the grades they bring moulded plastic up to look like real glass…..

Hiroboy do a similar wax that’s a little cheaper found here…
