Get the kitchen dishwashing scourer/sponge and then polish.

just use wet and dry sand paper + bit of polish

Is it safe to Brasso the tip? Considering that Brasso is flamable?

Exactly, I just need to wipe them and they come up great. I wash once a week and the tips have never tarnished. incidently does any one use the zymol products to keep their cars lookin good. just got some and its great especially the lem clay.

I haven't herd of that one?, I use polyglaze it's got a blue XR6 on the front.

I washed mine the other day with steel wool as it was really discoloured and then polished it with brasso. Come up really nice.

Jeeepers · 01-10-2006, 05:02 PM

Steel wool?? Scourers?? Arrghhh!! Too ebrasive. The end result will look clean, but duller than it should be.... Polish of your choice should be all you need. If it's old and crappy, get a newy and keep it polished.

Very very expensive but It works a treat and its from all natural ingrediant. Lemclay first after the wash took all the crap from trees and inbedded dust and grime, the wax goes on so easy and takes no time at all. I got a kit from Zymol distributers in melbourne. Any way if any one wants to know more pm me, their products are from natures best ingrediants which do not harm your paint with any chemicals for use on tyres rims chrome or paint.

Cheers

Sounds good when i use polyglaze you need to wash some rinse it off, Takes a good 7 shots to do the whole car it drys up to fast and gets into the paint. Also a little funny on the lips makes them very dry.

slloyd · 01-10-2006, 03:06 AM

Autosol is the best product ever. Full stop.

mosman69 · 01-10-2006, 03:24 AM
