Kashimax Restro - still looks powdery (Blue with pictures)

(1/6) > >>

Hi all

Ive raised this before but, still having problems with a Kashi restro.  Previously it was suggested that I try different dye (Dylon) which I have now just finished BUT it still looks like it has powder on it. Its been sanded down to 1200 grade and its smoother than a baby's butt..  With the smallest amount of water, it looks perfect.  Indeed, the second pic below (bottom of the pic) shows a finger print mark and even that amount of grease gets rid of the whiteness..





Any thoughts?  I was about to wipe it with a TINY amount of WD40 but open to better suggestions??

PS: the expert bloke on BurnerWorld said he will not touch blue Kashi's as they never turn out right.  So perhaps the above results are just epidemic of all blue Kashi's??

i had a nos blue one that kept going like a powder on the surface.
i soaked it in gloss amourall from halfords.
done the trick and when it did start whitening a bit again a quick wipe over and it was sorted again.
worth a try.

monkian:
If you're desperate you could try painting it. Shat did I just say that!!! :-\
At least it's not a set of Skyways. Plasti Kote Super in a satin finish maybe??
