I would like to know how you polish up your Kirinite. I just finished my first with these type of handles. I worked it up and I can already see its easy to work with. I quickly used some paint thinner on some pieces of sand paper to get the scratches out.. I heard wd40 on sand paper works good, but I didnt have any. Wanted to know if others had a better finish or something less smelly to use. Thanks for any help.

Well I stuck with what gave me the first decent quick finish.. It seems to look highly polished and the pink rouge took all the fine scratches out. Very easy to work with.

I know little about polishing it, but that looks pretty good.
A clear conscience is often the sign of a fuzzy memory.

I use Simple Green cleaner, works good as a lubricant for wet sanding plus it smells good and keeps your hands clean.
