How to Use Tamiya Polishing Compounds:

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure that the model surface is clean and free from dust or debris before applying the polishing compounds.

2. Coarse Compound (87068): Apply the coarse compound to the model surface using a soft cloth or applicator. Rub the compound in a circular or back-and-forth motion to address any prominent imperfections.

3. Fine Compound (87069): After using the coarse compound, apply the fine compound to further refine the surface. Use the same application method as with the coarse compound.

4. Finish Compound (87070): The finish compound is applied last to achieve a high-gloss finish. Use a clean cloth or applicator and apply the compound in a similar manner to the previous steps.

5. Buffing and Polishing: After applying each compound, use a clean and soft cloth to buff and polish the surface. This helps to remove excess compound and enhance the shine.

6. Inspect and Repeat: Inspect the model surface after each step to ensure the desired level of smoothness and gloss. Repeat the process if necessary.

Always follow the specific instructions provided on the product packaging for the best results. The Tamiya Polishing Compounds are designed to work together in a sequential process to achieve a polished and professional finish on plastic model surfaces.
