Product Information
Full details
Mirka Polarshine 5 is a professional-grade finishing compound ideal for detailers, automotive technicians, and woodworkers looking to achieve a deep, high-gloss finish on various paints and lacquers. This water-based compound is engineered to remove fine sanding marks and swirl patterns, resulting in a mirror-like surface quality. While it excels at delivering a brilliant shine, users should note that it is designed primarily as a final-step polish and may not be aggressive enough for heavy-duty scratch removal on neglected surfaces.

What pad should I pair with this?

How should I store this product?

Can I use this on plastic or glass?
It is formulated primarily for paints and lacquers. It is not recommended for use on glass or clear plastic components.
Troubleshooting
Compound is drying out too quickly on the surface
Reduce your working area size or lightly mist the pad with a small amount of water to extend the working time.
Holograms or buffer trails remain
Ensure your machine speed is not too high and verify that your polishing pad is clean and not saturated with old product.
Product is difficult to wipe off
You are likely using too much compound. Reduce the amount applied to the pad and wipe off immediately while the surface is still slightly wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the work surface is clean, cool, and free of dust or debris. Pair the compound with a suitable polishing pad—generally a medium-soft foam pad is recommended for the best balance of cut and finish. Shake the bottle thoroughly before each use to ensure the compound is well-mixed. When finished, wipe away any residue immediately with a clean microfiber cloth to prevent drying. Always store the bottle in a temperature-controlled environment; do not allow the product to freeze as this will degrade the chemical structure of the emulsion.
