Gosh, I hate that stuff with a passion.
I have sanded it down to as far as I dared. Then, on Sunday when it was sunny here, I added two new coats over the course of a 5 hours, each coat sat in full sunlight for 2.5 hours.
Between each coat, I sanded lightly with P400 this time, wiping it only with a dry paper towel, no alcohol, no water. Then, after sanding, I gave it a few more minutes to cure in the sun before adding the second coat. It sanded well with powdery dust, so I think it was fully cured.
After the second coat, I dry sanded up all the grids - P400, P600, P800, P1000, P1200, P1500, P2000, P2500, P3000, P5000.
Then, I hoped to polish - but nothing. I started with my usual polishing paste (rot-weiß), but no gloss. Then, I tested Autosol - no gloss. Then, I tried the highly abrasive rot-weiß Rubin paste, and now it's just weird. Not gloss, not matte - I don't know what this is.
I really don't know what to do with this stuff, other than throwing it out the window. I think I did almost everything by the book and it does not work. I even used my power drill to polish - this stuff glosses up old cars, why doesn't it work with this?
Now, the only options left is - I think - either live with it (but I hate it) or add something on top to gloss it up. I don't know what would work on top of the Solarez, though. I know that polyurethane doesn't.
Really unhappy right now
