ben_notts 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 everybody's saying loadsa work but ive got mine shiny but not fully mirror polished and did it in about 40 mins / 1 hr without even intending to! im a heating engineer and was cleaning out the boot of my car and found a small length of 'cleaning strip' that you scrub up copper pipe with before you solder it so outta curiosity i had a scrub with the heavy gauge strip to see what itd look like a bit cleaner as it was a bit grubby after about 20 mins scrubing it was spotless but looked carbonised, i then found a much lighter gauge 'cleaning pad' for the same purpose as above mentioned this after about15/ 20 mins gave it a real lustre so all excited i then dug out a painters sanding block that had real light grade almost like wet n dry and then it really came up, washed it down with a rag, dried it off and then gave it a real fine spray of oil to give it some protection and it looks MUCH better than before.i got before and after pis so ill host em up when i get a minute for peeps to decide for them selves and ill also see if you can get the bits off fleabay, b ut failing that i know you can defo get them from plumb centre as thats where i got them! the heavy gauge strip is called suprisingly... 'cleaning strip' made by 'Wagner' and then the lighter gauge is 'cleaning pad' made by yorkshire fittings its burgandy.failing that send me a S.A.E and ill send ya some strip and a bit of pad!
