Finish for Acrylester?

[WoodChucker]

Would Renaissance Wax be a good choice for a final finish on Acrylester? Or do you even need a finish on this stuff? Thanks!

For all plastics you do not need any special finish. You wet sand all the way to either 2000 sand paper or 12000 Micro Mesh, wet as I said.
To finish off you can either use the Novus polish or any fine automotive rubbing compound (the stuff they use for rubbing out scratches on cars) and then follow by the Novus anti static. Thats the way I finish my acrylics. The pens will shine for ever, no need for any wax after this.

Ok, thanks Rudy! Just so I'm clear on what you said, are you saying I don't ( have ) to do anything to it and it will be ok? But as an options I could do the other things you suggested? Thanks!

Novus polishes are real good! I have even used #2 to remove fine scratches from the plastic lenses in my eyeglasses.

Thanks Fred, I'll pick some up and give it a shot.

As I said: no need for a finish at all!!! Just sand out all scratches with ever finer going sandpaper (and as I said <b></b>wet<b></b>) and remove any leftover fine scratches with the Novus polish (or rubbing compound).
