Ok, this will bring this thread up-to-the-minute for the status of this kit.

Here is what the surfaces look like, after running through a series of polishing pads.

The upper surface:

and the lower surface:

The polishing pads really do a fantastic job of smoothing the surface. I originally got them, to have them on hand to fix a scratched canopy, and I can see how you can eliminate a scratch with these, and then a dip in Future.

There are still two rough spots that require attention. One is on the upper side, between the end of the canopy rails and the radio mast, and on the bottom, on the first vent cover as we go from the trailing edge of the wing aft.

Believe me, those seams are pretty smooth, at least, they look good under the Optivisor. A coat of primer will tell for sure...
