Can someone suggest a polishing compound safe for Varnish (Enduro-Var). I want to test some ideas. I have the McGuires Swirl remover, but it never seems very effective to me. Maybe I'm using it wrong... (I apply, and use a cotton mushroom pad to work it) Mike |

Mike what's your objective a very high shine or removing swirl and/or fine scratches? McGuires also makes a fine cut cleaner that is slightly more aggressive than the swirl remover and yes you are using it as I would. Recently we tried some of the polishes that Jescar is selling on their consumer web site and we liked them a lot - more than McGuires. Take any of this with a grain of salt, you qualified, rightly your question with the mention of Enduro-var which is something that I doubt that we've ever encountered before so we can't know in the case of Enduro. |

(I apply, and use a cotton mushroom pad to work it) Mike Mike, In my experience, compounding by hand isn't very effective on most surfaces, especially if you are trying to get a mirror shine. I use the foam pads that you chuck in a power drill (available at most auto parts stores). I think stewmac sells them too, which is where I got the idea 25 years ago. God luck. Glenn |

I don't know about Endurovar but I've had the best luck by wet sanding with Micro Mesh to 6000 then polishing by hand with Novus #1. This is on Royal Lac. Attachment: IMG_1831.JPG
