I recently started using Dr. Kirk's Micro Magic polishing wax on acrylic. I've used it on a couple dozen pens, and am pretty happy with the results. But how does it work? It seems almost magical. Here is my old regimen:
Wet sand with 320 and 400. Wet sand with all 9 grades of Micro-Mesh. Novus 3 then 2, then finish with PlastX.
My new regimen:
Dry sand with 120 and 240, to refine the shape. Wet sand with 320, 400, and 600. Dr. Kirk's 1, 2, and 3. Novus 3 then 2, then finish with PlastX. Basically it's slightly less hassle, not having to use the Micro-Mesh. The photos are in order:
1. After 120
2. After 240
3. After wet sanding through 600
4. After Dr. Kirk's 1, 2, and 3
5-7. After Novus 3 and 2, and PlastX
