Humidity & Polish

Humidity levels in Florida were high this Winter. Humidity can fog and make a gloss finish hazy.

On the left is the Blue Origin/New Shepard fin after a final, heavier spray coat.

The body tube is glossy, the fins - not so much.

On the right is the same fin, only polished.

You can use automotive Polishing Compound to buff out some of the haze and raise the gloss. It might not end up as shiny as the body tube, but you will see a difference.

I'm using a microfiber cloth.

Polishing by hand is a little like polishing your dress shoes.

Polish one direction, then the other. Or, polish circles clockwise then counterclockwise.
