That is looking very good Ian . I am not a shiny thing builder, but I would say no to the gloss coat. I think it would be better just to polish the base coat up. I might be wrong, but that is what I would try.

Looking at ya pics on page 5 i`d say no not really........just polish what you`ve got, if you go to heavy on a delicate vehicle like this you`ll flood the detail.......... i use a model car bees wax and a lint free cloth to really buff them up

This compound seems a very good buy so I'll just stick with it, I saw a youtuber polish an aircraft canopy after removing a seem with it

I use that compound and the fine one also to polish my aircraft canopies. They are the only things that work for me, as the dipping method always goes tits-up

I used mine after a VMS gloss coat, if I remember.
I don’t think I have used the polish on just paint.
Good idea, Robbo, to try it out first on the underside. If it’s not okay, no real harm done.

OK for a first attempt mate. Trouble with this is the chassis is so flexible I keep breaking bits
