polishing to a shine
not car related, but in fact kitchen worktops! The corian style ones are essentially MDF with about 8mm of plasic on the top, you bond them up and
then sand it off. Ive been down to 400 grit wet and dry, its smooth but not shiney. What sort of stuff can i use to buff it to perfection?! Does stuff
like t-cut have colours in it? Just need a fine polish paste.

i'm pretty sure you get 1200 grit wet and dry from halfords (ie, i'm sure i've bought some from there...)
as for polishing compound, you get that there too, but not sure if its safe for plastic....

If you have a paint supplier nearby they will have all the gear & be able to advise what sort of grade compound will work best.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Farecla G3 then G7, only use paper if you need to get rid of any scratching
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I've used 2000 grit paper on gelcoat and paint. gives an unbelievably smooth but disappointingly mat finish. Polishing compound and a mop is
the only way to go. I think it takes more patience that I used too.

Defo try the Ferecla products. i always have G3 and G10 in the garage. Not sure what the differences are between G7 and G10 but there website is very
good.
All decent trade motor factors and bodyshop supplies places sell it. If you want to cover the kitchen in it hire a polishing tool and use the correct
Ferecla mops.
