Anyway, I just started on my HGUC Sazabi, and switched from a metal file to sandpaper for the first time. Even with the finest grit (not sure what's the number, but it's definitely higher than 1000), I still can see visible scratches. I started with 400-600, then 800-1000 and lastly with my finest sandpaper, which is supposed to polish the surface. Any help? I'm not sure if my technique is right - I've tried pressing the sandpaper hard, pressing it lightly, going in circles, going in one direction, etc, but the scratches are still there. I'm thinking of going out to pick up a Tamiya polishing compound tomorrow. Is that the only way to remove the scratches?
EDIT: Read somewhere that I can use toothpaste as a cheaper alternative, is this true? |
When I was a kid, there's a product that was being endorsed that can remove scratches from cars. I kinda want to roleplay and used toothpaste instead. Scratched our gate and tested it. I was shocked to find out when the scratched disappeared. I was like, "so they must have used toothpaste then". That test I made was on a metal and haven't tested it in plastic. You can maybe try it in runners first though.
Yes, my story is serious.
