Buffing wipe on poly

[Bill Howatt]

I've always been happy with the Tripoli, White Diamond and Carnuba but I don't doubt you can get others that might suit your taste better. The only problem I've ever had buffing came from buffing too soon, you want cured not just dried. Also, do pay attention to heating.

[Richard Coers]

Some polyurethanes will be too soft and not polish well. There is a distinct difference between dry and cured. Cured when the temperatures are cooler could mean waiting a month before buffing. Lacquer is far superior for a glass like finish.

Just giving suggestions but there are also different (harder) waxes than carnuba and there are also different qualities and materials of wheels. All of these play off one another to achieve the finish you like, lots of variables to consider if you want.
