We are looking for a detail-oriented Finishing Technician to join a production team. In this role, your primary responsibility will be to transform raw, machined, or scratched acrylic into crystal‑clear pieces using various buffing, sanding, and polishing techniques.

• Surface Restoration: Use wet and dry sanding techniques (progressing from coarse to ultra‑fine grits) to remove saw marks, scratches, and burrs.
• Buffing & Polishing: Operate high‑speed buffing wheels and handheld rotary tools with specialized polishing compounds to achieve a high‑luster, "optical" finish.
• Quality Control: Inspect finished parts under high‑intensity lighting to ensure they are free of hazing, swirls, or imperfections.
• Material Care: Manage heat buildup during the polishing process to prevent warping or "crazing" (micro‑cracking) of the acrylic.
• Maintenance: Keep your workspace and polishing equipment clean to avoid cross‑contamination of grit and compounds.

• No Experience necessary, will train. Experience as a car detailer is beneficial
• Attention to detail; you can spot smudges or scratches
• Steady hands and the patience required for repetitive, high‑accuracy work.
• Familiarity with power tools (buffers, sanders, grinders) and an understanding of how different compounds affect plastic surfaces is beneficial
• Ability to stand for long periods and perform physical tasks requiring manual dexterity.

Compensation / Pay Rate (Up to): $15.00 - $16.00 Per Hour
