Very informative video again.
I like seeing the sanding grits used, products, procedures and other stuff you've learned in detail.
So many other peoples videos expect you to know about grits & processes already, never explain it & only show their results with their unexplained methods.

Thanks for the video. I love the straight forward video and I love the options and explanations of the different filler. Very helpful

You can get a very reflective shiny reflective finish with silver rub'n'buff. The surface needs to be wet sanded to at least 600 grit and applied with a bare finger in a thin coat, but also moving quickly back and forth to build up friction and actually melts the wax creating the shine. Simply applying and waiting to dry and buff with a cotton rag will not achieve the same results. Depending on how large of an area needed can results in blisters on your fingers! 😲
