It is not impossible to get a perfect finish with a brush but it sure isn't easy. Not without rubbing it out. Depending on how much has to be removed to make it flat and smooth, 220-240A paper or 400-600 wet paper initially. After those, 0000 steel wool. After that (if you want more gloss) Johnson's paste wax.

That's an easy way to rub out a surface. The more traditional way involves felt pads, pumice in various grades and rotten stone.

I find poly difficult to work with. That said, a steady hand moving slow to avoid bobbles to begin with helps a lot. You need to slowly stir to avoid making bobbles, load the brush properly and keep it even. A lot of it is just learning the right touch. I need to relearn it every time I do it.

I guess I should have noted that. Yes, a really good brush is necessary.

use the foam pad applicator instead of the brush. never shake the can but gently stir it as you go. should take care of both
