I have used "Rub-n-Buff" wax based metal pigment, is this what you use?

Twiki's head shape is ... well, erh, unique. There are many, many naughthy things which come into one's mind when you talk about polishing or waxing it, and now you are even "rub'n'buffin'" it. Just sayin'. Carry on, please..! :drinksmile::smoker::biggrin:

interesting stuff, have never used the medium before - is it straight forward, or is there any prep?
I've only used it as a weathering medium, on top of metal finishes, to give that extra shiny spot. I would use the same prep as any other metallic finish, the smoother the surface is, the smoother the finish is.
