    Default Toy car finishing

    Hi Everyone
    Recently I have done this car, when I finish with B wax, it got some tiny white spotting specially on dark wood. Anyone can help me to over come this problem. it got near mirror finish with white spotting. This should be child safe.
    Cheers

    This is a problem with some waxes it build up in all the little pores and crevices and then shows as white spots. So best to use a wax with colour to match the wood.

    I have this problem when finishing Bowls with natural edges or inclusions so I tend then to use a spray finish. The other solution is to use a oil on finish that is safe for children, no good me recommending any as your suppliers probably use different brands

    Oh yes nearly forgot nice looking car someone will have fun playing with that
