peek polish and goddard cloth

<< < (3/4) > >>

Magoo:
The bigger Tesco stores sell Peek metal polish :daumenhoch:

I've not seen the Goddard cloth though. BITD I'd use Duraglit, orangy coloured impregnated wadding that came in a tin, dunno if you can still buy it though?

kalex:
i'll look in to tesco's then. i'm going to try and do my ukai rims as shiney side's. i was hoping to get started this week so i'm looking into what to finish polishing them with. with regarding chrome and nickel polishing i used brasso wadding on my goose nickel forks and that removed light rust spots and brought them up very good

animal:
I swear by Peek and goddards cloth they bring most things back 2 life if u got the patience 2 keep polishing like a good un  ;) Got both of mine online  :daumenhoch:

markyp:
do you have to use goddard cloth with peek or does an ordinary duster do the job too???

he did, as he is me   ;D


the peek is to smooth out the surface - hair line scratches reflect the light in different ways ~ so hence you see the light from different angles - peek is a soft paste that flattens most surfaces and doesn't leave the lines - hence you can get a reflective surface or mirror look - how much of a polished look you want will be down to how long and hard you use it

the goddard cloth helps bring up the surface on most metals as it has a polish in it already - you can make a peeked surface look better or you can simply use a yellow dust - try it all in different ways on different stuff - a goddards cloth can also make powder frames look sweet

me i use peek then goddards cloth and then you can even use house hold polish after witha duster

just try and see what works best
