Step 5Rubbing Out
The work should now have a scratch-free 'sheen.'
A rubbing compound is now applied. Use a soft cloth--an old tee shirt works well, or a terry cloth towel.
Apply a small amount of compound to the cloth ('charge' it), don't try to rub out the whole piece at once.
Work the compound into the surface evenly. As it begins to thin and dry, you'll feel more resistance. Continue to rub. You must rub the compound dry, and off the surface for the full effect. Turning the cloth (to where it's clean) near the end of the 'charge' will help complete the rub, and remove any remaining compound. But don't work with a clean part of the rubbing cloth until it's nearly all rubbed out.
The rubbing compound should include instructions, as well. Follow them...
