Also for darker gloss colours I'm doing, such as black. Do I use ano to full 1mm?

i have been getting gloss finish at 1 mil.

What do you use to clean off the buff compound?

[stayhi]

i personally use rubbing alcohol.

[BobFrapples]

Does it clean off the black muck from the compound?
I buff one side of a piece, and the other side is marked with black (probably off the buffing gloves).

[stayhi]

yeah cleans everything up nicely. i use the mothers by hand to even everything out as im still a rookie w/ the canton flannels

Ahh Okay.
I'll try some this week.
Do you have like a 5 gallon bucket of it and you just soak it in? Or do you just wet a rag and wipe it down?

[stayhi]

wet a mf towel, takes some elbow grease. good luck
