Ok, i am using this for a high gloss finish on furniture and i am new to this - it was in their video. how would i apply and then do i need to buff?

It appears that you are a woodworker, so you will be familiar to the response that always comes to a how to question, it all depends on what you are attempting to do. I have been using the Mirka sanding system for several months. Part of the system utilizes the Polarshine compound to complete the clear coat finishing process. I use 800 or 1000 grit sanding paper with my Mirka sander to prep the surface prior to application of the Polarshine Compound. You may know that Polarshine offers a whole array of polishes that run from course PC35 to Ultra Fine FC5. Depending on how much time, effort and money you want to invest and the level of shine you want to gain, it will establish how you proceed. I build cabinets and seek to gain a finish that will show off the woods grain without a truly gloss finish. I spray water based satin poly. Prep the surface with 800 or 1000 grit sand paper. I progressively use PC35, PC10 and FC5 to buff the surface. I apply small dabs of the Polarshine Compound to a 7" wool buffing pad. I spread the compound on the wood surface before I turn on my electric polisher (this avoids spraying and waste). I dedicate a wool buffing pad for each Polarshine compound to avoid contamination of varying grit levels. I use a microfiber cleaning cloth between application to remove residue. I have been thrilled with the results of the Polarshine compounds. PS: if you are in search a piano top finish, you may want to go all of the way to the Ultra Fine compound and use polishing pads. Amazon sells the TCP Global Ultimate Buffing and Polishing Kit that will give you all of the pads necessary for the most discerning polishing job.

Why is it so expensive?

A little goes a long way. This is not expensive when you consider the cost of removing oxydation on gelcoat professionally.

would it work well to polish an old inground spa that lost its shine?

It worked great on bringing back the shine on my faded Burgundy fiberglass hull
