Johnny_K Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Following is your answer: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=tamyia+compound I have used the course and the fine compounds. They work fine in removing orange peel. Be carful using the course compound. It cuts quickly. Edited March 15, 2017 by Johnny_K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100SQN Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hi Laurie, Do you have a link ? I can only see the coths Thanks, Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieS Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hi Simon Just looked and they are out of them. Tamiya rubbing compound. Put this into Ebay and there are numerous suppliers. I got mine on Amazon. Laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100SQN Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Just searched for "tamiya compound" in the uk and it only showed the tamiya coths and some tyres I know there are sellers overseas but I need faster delivery Thanks, Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilh Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I've bought many small items from Hong Kong and got them within 3 days. My Wife regularly orders cosmetics from overseas and see the same fast delivery. Some of the Hong Kong sites have European delivery hubs in low tax countries like Ireland, Luxembourg or the Channel Islands. You can always ask the seller on E Bay. I am pretty sure Mr Models ( From Birmingham) has had polishing compoud for sale when I have seen them as shows. http://mrmodels.info/ - they say they do mail order. Another one to try is "Little Cars" perhaps ( you can contact them here from Britmodeller) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieS Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Well it looks Simon as though the UK is right out of the stuff. Apart from some languishing in an odd shop that is it. I tried Little Cars last night and they are out of stock. As Neil above mentioned Hong Kong is very fast. Not like China which takes anything from 6 to 8 weeks.

colin Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I have used Mequiar's swirlX and their PlastX stuff, works just as well, hell of a lot more for simular cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
