Need good shine

I was wondering what is the BEST thing to get if you trying to make your kit Very nice and shiny looking. I bet this has been posted before i just really want to know because my madels never come out with shine. :frown:

Mostly practice.

go buy yourself a can of T-Cut or other polishing compound from your local auto supplies store, and sit and polish for ages till you can see you face in your piantwork. Apply a few coats of wax when your finished and you're sorted.

Polishing is not always needed if you lay the paint down smooth enough.
This rarely happens for me, LOL

Polishing can be very tedious! So a few weeks ago I messed around with my drill press and a mandrel from my dremel tool :naughty:
It worked great! Keep an eye out , I plan a how to.

Well i tried turtle wax and it didnt do that great. It kinda dulled it out.

That's probably because turtle wax is incompatible with the paint you are using. This is a brand specific issue, actually.
Zymol and Meguiars is okay for Tamiya and Gunze synthetic lacquer.
