About product

U-STAR Mini Polisher, a compact polisher for modelers

A small polishing tool from the workshop range of the U-STAR brand. It aims at the places where a large polisher has nowhere to go and a cloth in the hand is no longer enough: fogged transparent parts, fine scratches left by sanding, a matte spot in otherwise glossy paint or a metal detail that is meant to reflect once finished. Polishing is always the last step after sanding. The tool will not remove coarse flaws on its own, but it can draw a surface prepared with a fine abrasive into a smooth shine.

When you will use the polisher

  • Transparent parts, that is, canopies, light covers and windows, after sanding a parting line down.
  • Removing fine scratches from paint before applying the final coat.
  • Finishing off metal and chrome details.
  • Smoothing the surface under decals, so that no matte edge is left around them.
  • Levelling small imperfections on glossy car bodies.

How to proceed

Always go from coarser to finer: first sanding paper with gradually higher grit, and only then polishing. Work in short bursts and check the surface against the light as you go, because rubbing one place for longer heats the plastic and it can cloud over. On transparent parts a final pass with gloss varnish moreover proves itself, as it fills residual microscratches better than further polishing.

Who the polisher is for

For modelers who build cars, aircraft with a large glazed canopy or anything with glossy paint, and for everyone who wants to give a part back its original transparency after sanding.

Work with feeling and without great pressure, as heated plastic deforms easily. Do not inhale the dust that forms and store the tool out of reach of children.

FAQ

It does not. Polishing deals only with microscratches and a matte surface; deeper grooves and gate marks have to be removed with sanding paper first.

Yes, that is one of the main uses. Work through a fine abrasive to polishing and finally go over the surface with gloss varnish, which unifies the result.

Neither the drive nor the contents of the package are stated here. The manufacturer gives both on the packaging of the polisher.

Yes, it is precisely on glossy bodies that polishing pays off most. Work in short bursts and without pressure, so that the paint does not heat up and wear through on the edges.
