Way to go Charger, this has been a great info thread. I have finished the 6th coat on my test piece an old metal dash,from a 1948 Dodge Coupe. It is silky smooth and when you wipe the spirits over what a great look to it, super shiny and smo oth like glass. Unfortunately the only thing I have is Turtle Wax and not Polishing compound. This unfortunately will not bring back the shine, so I wiped it off with the spirits again. Will only the polishing compound bring back the shine. I can tell this will look awesome if I can get back the shine...........Take it easy 48 coupe
