Awesome, thanks for this, I had been looking for a good mirror finish tutorial and this is great. Quick question, do you wash off the remaining compound after you're done polishing one step, before moving onto the next level of compound? like coarse > wash off remainder > fine > wash off remainder > finish > wash off remainder? or is it all in succession?
@DrixWorks2 жыл бұрын
Thanks buddy! I dont wash the remainder. I just proceed to the next step. No wash at all

Hi mate! great tutorial and beautiful results. I'm in the process of learning this technique my self. but in my case, it always leave scratches in my models. I do the same process and was wondering what clear coat are you using?. My last build i tried mr.color ultra clear gloss uv cut. let it cure for about a week and when i went on to sanding, it jsut leaves scratches and the compunds where not able to remove the scratches either. Thanks in advance, cheers!

Very helpful video, could you explain what the polishing compound is and what it does along with if its necessary to sand it and can I use a polishing sponge on it. Also how does sanding and polishing not damage the decals and do i do all of this polishing on top of a clear coat of X-22.

Decals arent harmed because they're protected by the top clear coat.

thanks for the video. after you painted the white and red, u didn't do any corrections at that moment on the colored paint itself right? u just apply the decals. then clearcoat 4-5 layers, and then do this process?
@DrixWorks2 жыл бұрын
If the paint bleeds, that's the time I do a paint correction sir. Sometimes, I paint clear coat first then wetsand a bit before applying the decals. Then apply again clear coat after applying the decals. Then I do the process of polishing

What I am most curious about is how are these stickers not affected when doing this operation? 1. painting the product 2. wet sanding 3. polishing 4. sticking the stickers. Do you mind if the order of operations is like this? I thought the stickers would be damaged during this process. They look fine 🙂

here's how the stickers are safe: sanding > primer > sanding > white primer (optional) > sanding > painting > sanding (optional) > clear coating > sanding > decals (stickers) > clear coating > polishing.

I have another question, there are thin strips on the car. In this video, you said that you need to make the clear coating at least 4 layers. Well, after these 4 layers of process, don't these streaks close completely?

No doubt, a perfect surface, and a magnificent job. But in my opinion is it a work of an armchair enthusiast, who has never seen a rally car in real life. No rallycar at all, has a glossy surface like this. I have decorated many rally and racing cars in 1:1. and it is far from what you see in real life. Impressive job, but I am sorry to comment negative. This kind of surface belongs to a Hot Rod or a Street Rod with a "mile-deep" varnish.
