Starke Finish R - Hybrid Finishing Polish
Description
Finish-R fits into the STARKE Surface Restore System at either Step 2 Refine or Step 3 Finish, delivering a swirl-free finish on both light and dark surfaces.
Formulated with high-quality diminishing abrasive technology, Finish-R delivers effective cutting and polishing whether you're running a rotary buffer, forced rotation or a DA 21mm polisher. On rotary with a yellow wool pad, it can effectively remove 1500 grit or higher sanding scratches. On a DA polisher, it finishes down swirl free on both dark and light colors, pairing best with the STARKE $ Money Pad, Purple Haze Pad, or any foam finishing pad.
From there, follow the system with your STARKE Sealant of choice for a standard finish, or move into Triple P if you're prepping the surface for ceramic coating.
