    I work with musical instruments, especially synthesizers and they are from early 90s and such. 30+ years of use have the keys with scratches, especially because most of them ended up in music lessons with markers and tape on top. There is one that I manged to white out but the keys are not shining because the previous owner used bleach on them. Now I am going to tray this method and see. I want this specific synth to last 30 mores years or more.

    Hmm, i dont know... looks like the polished parts isn't really that great yet.
    WIll it need more sanding ? im struggling to polisch dirt bike plastics, and i just cant get to that new ''wet look''.

      He didn't get the deeper scratches. This a buffing/polishing product. You need to wetsand at 2-3-4k grit sandpaper in order to get the deeper scratches, and then do the polish like this after.

      you dont need to sand it or you might ruin it. just take your time cutting the scratches with compound and polisher and they will buff away but you might leave some swirl marks around so better finish it with some polishing compound and soft pad, in the video he only polished the surface for about 5 mins longer but in reality you need 20min - an hour of buffing to get rid of deeper scratches.

    Okay, guys and gals, now that your piano black plastic is shiny, how do you keep the clear coat on it. Our 3 gen Prius lost anll its tail clear coat after 6 years in the sun. What can you put on to protect it. Don’t say wax, because we washed every other week and waxed every couple months. Wax does little to nothing to filter out UV. Advice?

    Is that painted plastic? Would this process work for molded in color ATV plastics with light scuffs from branches?

  • @riclopez1627
    @riclopez1627 Місяць тому

    Do you think these compounds would work on colored plastics, specifically dirt bike tanks and fenders? This is a closely guarded secret on how to restore. In much testing i found it doesn’t like being sanded past 600gr to remove scratches. I have tested all the way to 2000gr and it burns easily and leaves it milky in color. I’ve tried at least 6 different types of polish and even a clean buff without anything. Any help would be appreciated.

    Question about polishing a whole car, if there is only a few areas with heavier scratches is it okay to just use the C4 on the heavier scratches, then for the rest use the P4? Also if that’s the case what pad would I use on the rest of the car with P4 for light scratches? Then if it’s a heavy cutting pad with just P4, would I have to go over it with another lighter pad with P4?

    The control side had 95% he crashes, there was one scratch on the side you worked on that was certainly visible and it was still there when you finished but a little less visible, and that side was corrected but only as far as the shine, if you did the control side with the majority of the crashes we would be much less impresses. I want to see the control side when finished
