Comments about 3M 3M Finesse-It II Finisher:

I have a lot of products for my hobbies and one of them is working with wood. But my favorit sport is Bowling. Ilike my equipment to look really good so I try it on my bowling balls and man did they look good, not did it look good the ball became great they all started hooking out of the house. I told my Pro shop owner and show him and Now it is the best thing he said he has seen as well. Great Stuff. Clean and shine GREAT.

Comments about 3M 3M Finesse-It II Finisher:

A great product for finish polishing as a final step for fine ceramics restoration. I have been able to achieve remarkable duplicate high gloss finishes to restored pieces using this product. It contains no silicone and can be painted back, if necessary, without reaction to the paint surface.

Comments about 3M 3M Finesse-It II Finisher:

Used a paint gloss meter to measure the effect of the 3M polish system on the hull on my 32 year old Cheetah. It has chalked and faded over the last 6 or so years after being being left outside.

I used the 3 M fiber glass compound and Finesse-it and their ScotchGuard wax.

All polishing was done by hand and the areas I tested went pretty fast. These were only test areas done to help determine the degree of restoration it warranted. Later in the restore, I will complete the job.

The calibrations for the gloss meter are high polish black glass standard is 93.6 and a flat off white tile standard is 34.3.
The untouched areas around the waxed areas measured between 5.5 and 11.2.
After polishing and waxing, several spots on the waxed area on the side of the hull measured between 90.1 and 91.2. and another waxed area on the gunnel was 88.7
I was very impressed with the results. The products were easy to apply, worked fast and were easy to buff.
