Starting from sanded smooth wood then Ubeauts' Water Dye.

Apply Ubeauts' EEE-Utra Shine before or after Shellawax Cream :?

In the leaflet that comes with EEE under the heading "Methods of use: For wood turners" its written "...EEE then SWC. Then under the heading: "Finishing the finish"...SWC then EEE :?

I think I undersatnd and I'm willing to experiment myself but would be interested in your thoughts, thanks :-

Depends on the gloss level you want. High gloss: use EEE first, then cream.

Dial a gloss level: use EEE after the cream. The more you rub, the less gloss you get.

EEE is an abrasive and used like cutting compound is used on a car.

PS. The polish may "pull" the dye a little.

Thanks for clearing that up . If dye wasn't involved though would it be feasible to use EEE as the final cutting compound on the wood then use polish then use EEE again to dial down the gloss level?
