If you are polishing Tamiya sprays, it's absolutely the best polish you can use. You do 95%+ of the work w/the red cap/coarse, that's what buffs out the paint. If you pay attention to perfecting the basics of your paint jobs, so that your final coats of color and/or clear are smooth, you can often skip the wetsanding stage, or perhaps just use 3200/4000 grit Micromesh. The blue cap "fine" deepens the reflections, and the white cap "finish" is sort of a detailer; and it's the most expensive and not really necessary. Darker colors need the most attention. Relatively large particles - in combination with the paste - are highly effective when smoothing out any rough finishes on your model's surface, and it can be washed away using water when the job is finished.

I've recently been doing up some of my early builds with a view to selling them on Facetube. As some of them had issues with the canopies I needed to polish them so, as I'm a lazy sod at heart I've converted an old lekkie toothbrush (which doesn't hold a charge for very long) to help. As I haven't got any polishing compound I remembered that someone mentioned that white toothpaste can be used. Remember you are posting for all to read including those that will never have used either compound.This paste polishing compound uses small particles for the kind of finely-polished, smooth surface that is required before applying your model's topcoat. That's the way I do it. The wax I use is an automotive product designed for polishing acrylic headlight covers and I use that instead of dipping my canopies for the final finish too. One bottle will last a lifetime.
