← Back to How do you polish matte epoxy resin?

Choosing the right polish for your epoxy resin project can make all the difference in the final appearance. Two popular options, Epoxy Polish and Carbon Polish, are designed for specific needs. Understanding their purpose ensures you achieve a smooth, flawless finish every time.
Epoxy Polish: For General Resin Surfaces
Epoxy Polish is ideal for most standard resin surfaces, whether you’re tackling a river table, resin artwork, or tabletops. This polish is formulated to restore gloss, remove micro-scratches and dullness, and enhance clarity without leaving swirl marks. For best results, apply it with a rotary polisher or a compatible hand pad holder. Manual buffing with a soft cloth is possible, but using the correct tools helps achieve a consistent, professional-quality shine.
- Removes fine scratches and dullness
- Works best with polishing pads or polishers
- Suitable for various resin, carbon fibre, and plastic surfaces

Carbon Polish: Tailored for Dark and Black Surfaces
Carbon Polish is formulated specifically for dark or black finishes, such as carbon fibre or deeply pigmented resin projects. Its unique blend prevents unsightly white residue that sometimes appears with standard polishes on dark materials. The silicone-free, odourless, and non-whitening formula is suitable for use on both resin and plastic components. Application is simple, whether by hand or using an electric polisher.
- No white residue on dark surfaces
- Polishes carbon, black, and other deep-coloured finishes
- Eco-conscious formula, safe for plastic parts
When Does This Choice Matter?
If you’re finishing a project with black resin, carbon fibre, or other dark tones, Carbon Polish helps you avoid chalky streaks while bringing out a deep, uniform gloss. For lighter or clear resin, Epoxy Polish remains the go-to product. Using the right product ensures your effort is rewarded with a durable and attractive surface.
