Daston Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I got an old school polishing kit upstairs but have no idea on how to use it and dont want to bugger anything up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargo Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 basically colsoop advised me on a 3 stage mehtod, using a grey, green and blue compound, first mop is a hard sisal mop, second is a softer stictched jobbie and the final is a loose mop thing. something like these http://www.merlinabrasives.com/polishingkits.html give colsoop a PM, he can advise and sell you the same kit i got from him..
