EEE Ultra Shine Is Not Finish Wax *LINK*

David Propst

>It is a polishing paste wax containing Tripoli powder (very fine abrasive). It made to be used after sanding and before a finish is applied. On plastics like Corian it is all that is needed for a finishing polish.

I use it on pens and small turnings after 600 paper and it really makes a difference. The link to the manufacturers website is below.

>I use Whitening Toothpaste instead. It has polishing compounds in it as you can tell by the fine grit it leaves on your teeth and gums.

It's cheaper; comes in convenient small tubes; and is readily available. It polishes Corian and acrylics up to a much higher shine than the tripoli or whatever they use in there in the EEE Ultra Shine. I use it above the highest MicroMesh stuff.

For most wooden items, you'll want to polish the finish and not the wood itself anyway. After that, a simple, hard wax can be applied but it'll wear off in a matter of hours of use. Polishing the plastics (no finish) is the final step for those items.

Why not just use rottenstone powder?

>You can get a can of rottenstone or pumice power for a lot less than one of these preparations. THese powders can polish wood using whatever liquid or paste medium you wish (oil, wax, water, etc).

>That's what I use and I'm surprised no one else mentioned it. Pumice followed by rottenston and using mineral oil as a carrier will give you a great finish for less than pennies. For plastic/acrylic/corian I use micro mesh up to 12000 and I don't need anything else
