The Satin finish is a matte finish and the easiest to maintain. Because it has a low sheen, it is very forgiving insofar as showing scratches, dents, and wear and tear over time.

The High Gloss finish is the hardest to maintain in that it shows everything - dust, dirt, scratches, dents, and wear and tear in general the quickest.

Make sure not to graduate too quickly from a 180 file to the white block. Try using the white block buffer a little longer than seems necessary.

There may be a slight color variation from batch to batch. Allow the polish to dry completely before you decide it doesn't match.

If you want a realistic looking model, for the most part, you'll want to use flat paint. Or at least semi-gloss finish. Unless you want it t look like a toy, avoid a total gloss. Of course, there are always some exceptions (Hyagku Shiki for example). Personally I don't use clear coat spray much, since it tends to altered the finished color somewhat.
