Rub 'n' Buff
Hi - Newbie question again.
I was about to buy some bare metal foil to play with for learning about metal finishes etc then saw a product advertised called rub n buff. It's a paste which you rub on, leave to harden then buff to a shine. I couldn't find anything on here about using it. Has anyone tried it - any good?

I can't think of anything on a car model it would be good for...
I used it on a C3-P0 model years ago and it worked fine for that. It's sorta like a paste wax with color (metallic) in it, a lot of solvent as well, so it softens most hobby enamels. BMF is the way to go for almost anything on a car.

Rub n buff
Dont be tempted to Rub N Buff parts that are on the model, if you transfer rub n buff on to (for instance) a mat black part it is almost impossible to remove.
I built an American F86 Sabre fighter jet and Rub N Buffed (Buffed with a motor tool) the complete airframe. It was painful to look at in bright sunlight.
