FAQ

1. 1. What type of defects does ANTI-HOLOGRAM POLISH RS 06 remove?

   It is intended for the removal of holograms, swirl marks and fine polishing defects on gelcoat, paint and compatible plastics. It is not designed for deep scratches or severe oxidation; those typically require a stronger cutting compound first. The exact cut level is not specified in available public data.

2. 2. Can it be used on dark colours?

   Yes. Distributor information explicitly indicates that it is suitable for dark colours, where holograms and swirls are particularly visible.

3. 3. Does it contain silicone?

   No. Available product descriptions state that it is silicone-free, which helps ensure good compatibility with subsequent painting or coating steps. Always verify this on the product label or the latest technical documentation.

4. 4. Is ANTI-HOLOGRAM POLISH RS 06 solvent-free?

   Yes. It is described as a water-based, solvent-free polish. This typically results in a lower odour and can make handling more comfortable, but the full solvent profile is not publicly detailed.

5. 5. On which materials can I use this polish?

   It is suitable for gelcoat, painted surfaces, Plexiglas, acrylic glass and polycarbonate according to distributor information. For any other substrate, compatibility should be confirmed in a small inconspicuous area first.

6. 6. Can it be applied by hand or only with a machine?

   Public information does not specify the exact application method. In practice, anti-hologram polishes are commonly used with polishing machines and suitable pads. To avoid surface damage, follow the instructions on the product label and any official Riwax guidelines.

7. 7. Do I need to protect the surface after using RS 06?

   Although not mandatory, it is usually recommended to apply a wax or protective sealant after polishing to preserve the finish. The product itself is primarily a corrective polish, not a long-term protective coating.

8. 8. Is this product safe for use on transparent plastics like boat windows?

   Yes, it is indicated as suitable for Plexiglas, acrylic glass and polycarbonate. However, because the exact abrasive grade is not specified, it is advisable to test on a small area and follow the manufacturer’s safety and application recommendations.

9. 9. Where can I find the exact safety and technical data?
