How to Polish a Bathtub

Being a professional bathtub refinisher requires delivering high-quality work using top-notch products and techniques. After refinishing a bathtub, adding an extra shine can truly impress your customers. Here's a concise guide on how to achieve that gleaming finish:

Steps to Achieve a Great Shine:

  1. Wet sand the Surface: Begin by sanding the entire tub or specific areas that need polishing. Use 1500-2000 grit wet or dry sandpaper, dip the sandpaper in water and sand the entire surface to level and remove any debris.
  2. Apply Compound: Before applying any compound, ensure the tub is dry. This compound is beneficial for restoring the dull paint and aids in removing sanding scratches. Using a dual action polisher, apply compound to a foam polishing pad and polish on low speed until a shine is visible. Using a microfiber cloth, remove the haze. 
  3. Polish the Bathtub: Use the dual action polisher fitted with a new foam polishing pad, apply finishing polish to the pad and polish on low speed until a shine is visible. Using a microfiber cloth, remove the haze. Repeat the process until the desired shine is reached.
