now you just need to re-learn English Jon :teef:


btw I see US guys always mention Mothers polish as the buffing cream of choice, how does it compare to Peek?
I fooking love Peek - that stuff is just ace, but always good to hear results from other places. Bit reluctant taking advice from FB where people are still recommending that people use tin foil and water on chrome.

and where can I get the citric acid for the dip from??

Peek is definitely better than autosol, less abrasive
And both are better than Brasso

Until I know more about this Mothers polish Jon's using, would stick with Peek followed by a buffing with a Goddard's Silver cloth

I put John on to Mothers polish.

Best I've ever used. Rub it on with a bit of rough tissue then leave for about 10 mins. Then polish off and jobs a goodun.

Has worked wonders on my Brum WHEELS Mini which I was convinced required a rechrome before I started.

The only rust on it now is beneath the original decals, which I was desperate to retain (but it's now driving my OCD mEnTaL)
