right laptop out of action and will be £220 lighter when it comes back >:(


peek is a very light polish with hardly any grains in it - put it between your fingers and it feels very smooth
autosol has a bit more grain in it and feels a bit more harsh and grainy in you fingers

you need to polish the metal down to a mirror finish and this can be done with peek and a Goddards cloth (sainsburys see em cheap )

but like with all things try it in a place where it will not show - under the bottom of the head tube

I have not tried it on a nickel plate - so don't rub to hard - you are tring to polish it smooth and not away - you can use a damp/light wet Jay cloth with the peek rubbed in to it first to aid the friction

show some pic's of before and after and i hope itworks well


cheers B  ;)

Spen read an article on the net saying you can clean tarnished nickel with oven cleaner , again the spray stuff type  ::) not Oven pride   >:D

or a vinegar and water solution then buff up with this stuff
