Tips for Polishing Different Resin Projects

Choosing the right sequence—sanding through increasing grits, followed by the appropriate polish and finally finishing with a sponge disc—is key for perfect results. Always ensure the surface is debris-free before each stage and use wet sanding to reduce dust and improve finishing when using sanding pads. Dark resin or carbon-fibre-inlaid tables should be polished with products formulated to prevent white residue. For best longevity and clarity, avoid pressure points during sanding and polishing, and finish with light, broad strokes.
