Do it between. By the time you run the last coat on, you should have as
level a surface as you can. I've found that making the last coat the
thickest is a good plan. Drag a well-wetted rag and _don't touch_ after
that. This will give you a thick enough final coat to rub or buff if you
want to, and hopefully not cut through and leave ghosts.

Remember that if you don't "tooth" evenly, your next coat can have holes in
it as the finish draws back from the super slick areas. Make sure you can
see scratches all over the surface.

Hello,
I'm using wipe on poly for the first time and seem to be getting a lot

I be able to buff them out on the last coat? Is there a better way to
apply
it?

400 wet-dry, wet with paint thinner.

Do I do this after the last coat? Will this remove the swirl marks?
