The right applicator makes polishing compound work far better than an old rag ever will. These Tamiya sponges are made to carry and buff compound evenly across a finish, working it into curves and flat panels alike to bring up that deep, glossy shine on bodyshells and models.

Why it's good

• Even application and buffing across the surface
• Conform to curves a flat cloth can't reach
• Part of the Tamiya finishing system

That final buff is where all your careful sanding pays off in a mirror shine.

The last step to a showroom finish. Pair with Tamiya sanding cloths to prep the surface first.
