I just finished repairing a nose ding. I sanded the repaired area down with a medium grit, then fine grit, then finally smoothed it off with a 600 grit wet sanding. It came out pretty well, but its still a little duller then the original gloss coat. I was wondering, how does the glasser get the beutiful gloss coat. Do they use a rubbing compound, kind of like Mothers, and a terry clothed buffer over a regular sanded finish. I may be way off, but would appreciate any help. Thanks, Russ

It should shine like glass. Aloha, Kokua

I live near Oceanside, is there a place close by where I could pick up or order Shurlustre and silacone base polish? The repair area is pretty small, maybe 2" radius tops, could I just use a terry cloth and elbow grease, or do I need some kind of electric buffer. Thanks again, Russ
