just had a quick rub and of the mx1000 :LolLolLolLol:
autosol is bringing it up ok but not bling enough,i think i might hit it with a 1500 wet and dry then auto sol,does this sound like a good plan?

Have a word with Brummie he will give you more technical help-I am just mastering the basics ;)

i think im gonna go the whole hog,take it right back with a 400 maybe,then work my way thru,i still need to know if i need to oven pride it first tho ???

My mx1000 is actually chrome I believe, so check that first.
Anything that is annodised silver usually has been sprayed with lacquer also - so you may need to remove that first, like they do with alloy wheels..
Red, blue anno just comes off with caustic soda - but this will not remove clear stuff on a silver one in my experience.

cheers si,ive sorted it now,i had a quick go on a small area with the 1500 paper then autosol and it came up a treat ,thats my little job for the weekend job now!!

Nice one mate... :daumenhoch:
Was it annodised then?
You may already know but using 'green scouring pad' with autosol helps big style - 'bling bling' ;)
