Restoring my Peregrine 48's

<< < (7/9) > >>

laidback:
Stu, i bought 3 cotton mops and red and green compound to go in my drill. I wasn't sure what compound to use, so i attacked it by hand.

The polishing kit was only a cheapy tool station job-cost me £3 :LolLolLolLol:

Is it worth using? do you know what colour compound i should use? haven't a clue!

Discostu:
What colours are they?  :LolLolLolLol:

laidback:
green and red.

maybe one of these would be better....

I did consider buying a bench grinder and kit, but i've just gentlemans relished a load of cash on that master :bellend:

Discostu:
I would say the red is coarse and the green is fine.  :daumenhoch:

That kit on eBay looks ok as well. I tend to put the handle clamp around the drill and do that up in a vise, then hold what I'm polishing against the mop. It is much easier that way.  8)

laidback:
Thats a good idea! I'd better find a way of securing my new drill in my vice without wrecking it! I'll post results when i can be arsed to crack on with them again!
