On the outside of the box- the simplest method is to sand to 600 or 800 then buff the box using 3 different mops as described here: Always buff below 1500RPM
Stage 1) 113GZP Brown compound with a B quality loose mop
Stage 2) Glosswax 16 Beige compound with a G quality loose mop
Stage 3 ) Atol 6 Beige compound (or P175 super finish)with a WDR loose quality mop

Hi George

would you use the same method on a just wood item?
any sealers first?
