Silky Fineshine
Refine previously buffed and compounded plastics and paintwork to a high-gloss finish, ready for sealing or waxing.
Refine the finish after Restore
Silky Fineshine is designed for previously buffed and compounded plastics and paintwork. The product description identifies its purpose as producing a swirl-free, high-gloss finish ready for sealing and waxing.
Use it after Restore within the Silky restoration sequence. That distinction matters when choosing between the products: Restore is the polishing stage for older or previously compounded gelcoat; Fineshine refines the finish that follows.
The application instructions allow hand or rotary-machine use with an appropriate compounding pad. Small working sections and keeping the surface cool are part of the method.
For the gloss-refining stage
- Previously buffed and compounded plastics.
- Paintwork ready for the finishing stage.
- Preparation for sealing or waxing after Restore.
How to use it
- Clean the surface, shake the bottle and first test an inconspicuous area.
- Apply by hand or with a rotary polishing machine using an appropriate compounding pad.
- Work in sections of around 50 cm × 50 cm, using water to keep the surface cool.
- Remove the residue with a clean cloth or wash clean with water.
