Translation needed

Over on our UK forum some of us are trying to achieve a really high gloss. I notice that a lot of you use something you call 'wipe on poly' Say poly to me and I think polyeurethane varnish which I doubt is what you are talking about. Could someone translate what this magic glossmaking fluid is please

Pete this is what most use...I've made some be thinning regular poly with mineral spirits 50/50. I also have used General Finishes Arm a Seal with good results.

Hope this helps.

As Jeff said, most of us have used Minwax or another wipe-on polyurethane for anything from gloss to satin finishes. I've been shifting over to waterborne finishes and have been satisfied with Target USL and their WB conversion varnish. I usually spray all of my finishes and always use high gloss for all layers, then rub out the final coat to the sheen I want.

Pete,
as Jeff said, I use a Min-wax polyurethane in either gloss or satin.
