Polishing veneered car console

Postby RogerS » 29 Aug 2014, 17:25

While I've got the Discovery in bits, I thought I'd take the opportunity to polish up the veneered centre console. I am guessing that it has a very thick coat of polyurethane on it. Any suggestions as to how to buff it up? T-Cut?

I've used Menzerna car polish as it's a much better formulation than T-Cut. thick poly can be a bit 'gummy' especially with T-cut which can be a tad agricultural.

I useda great product from G-Techniq which is a really gentle polish that works well either by hand or machine. I can stick some in the post to you tomorrow if you like I've got some left over from last time I did the car.

Well, I'm rather pleased the way it's turned out. Difficult to photograph properly but you can see the reflection of the trees outside the window in it.

Many thanks, Stephen for the compound.
