Polish for Brightwork

摘要

The practice of polishing a varnish finish to perfection is widespread among restorers and builders of fine wooden runabouts, and is also done by some yacht builders. It is controversial, but the results speak for themselves. Polishing a varnish finish involves using abrasives to level the surface and remove imperfections such as dirt, lint, and other airborne contaminants that may have found their way into the wet varnish coating during application or drying. Once the surface has been leveled and the imperfections removed by this fine sanding, polishes are used to eliminate fine sanding marks and restore gloss.
