colintkemp Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'd like to get my titinal Berserker to sparkle and shine more (i.e., bring back that full on mirror look). What is the best way for me to accomplish my goal? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newmax Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 On my Cayborg I used some metalpolish! And then a lot, really A LOT, of Liquid Glass to prevent it to become unshiny again, but I still not really happy with it, so I'll do some more layers of it! PS: don't care about people laughing at you, when you polish your board in the valley at the parking lot... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Here is an old post that shows a couple of pics and gives some instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wun Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Wow, some of those boards are shiiiiinnyy. I wonder... Has anyone also thought of doing something along the lines of applying some external-application RainX afterwards? Reading through the other thread, it seems like some of the polish waxes already repel snow and it should be easy to kick it off after every run and show off the mirror finish in the lift lines. However, the RainX would, in addition, also take care of melted snow by beading up the water and sliding it right off, which was apparently still a problem. I've never done this; it just came to mind after reading through that linked thread. Don't blame me if you wreck your board topsheet!

anewell Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Caswell Plating has some good instructions on buffing & polishing, and sells the tools you need. I was a happy customer years ago when I was spending too much time polishing Alfa Romeo & Healey parts. For protecting the final finished surface, you might try one of several brands of floor polish that are basically an acrylic clear-coat. "Pledge wth Future Shine" is the stuff to look for in the US. I've not tried it myself, but it seems promising. As always, test on a small inconspicuous area first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
