Window Shine

[Mainomega]

Hi, thanks for all your advice on making my mirror like image on my model, now i have a question about the windshield and other windows. How do you give them that shine, or that real look to them. I heard using "micromesh" or something like that and polishing them would give a nice shine.

Is this true ? I remember a while ago hearing someone saying that they dip theirs in Future and it adds a smooth reflective coat with out having to sand/polish.

Anyways thanks.

Oh yea, where do you guys buy those aftermarket wheels ? or those body kits some of you guys add to your models?

Thanks again

Hey u can use some Tamiya Compound, it is used for shining paint jobs, and also used for taking scratches off of windows and also making them have a good shine to it.

On my site (link in my signature), I have written a tutorial on how to get scratches and such off of winshields. This has worked very well for me. Alex's Painting tutorial is also on there.

Wow, thanks for the info.
The paint article opened a bit more light on the polishing subject and i learned how to do the windows.

Thanks

Get The Treatment Wax at a hobby shop it will add a nice shine to your windows. Also try any of the following for cleaning windows. Novus #1,
Meguiar's #18 Clear Plastic Detailer.

Don't use Future. It's too hard to apply to get a nice even job on windshields.... it'll turn your Tamiya windshields into Revell windshields..

Just stick with Tamiya Compound.
