Polishing

[Carl Spiby]

My shadows play field looks a little dull and I am intending to strip it in order to do a full clean.

I currently have Novus but using it by hand doesn't seem to get me very far, can you use Novus with a rotary drill attachment?

The treasure trove kit looks perfect but are there any resellers in this country?

Cheers

I have used a mix of novus 2 and 3 before with drill polishing pads. Then wax. Worked a treat.

treasurecove kit is good,if I can be ****d going that far

Can they be purchased in the UK? Shipping is over $50 from the states

Think 1stop sells em

I'm a treasure cove fanboy. It's good ****. Unless you're buying and selling lots of pins and shopping them out every time, it's probably not worth it as the compounds can dry out over time. And you can achieve decent results with Grizz's technique.

Just remember that polishing is a sacrificial process.

True but it'll also rejuvenate a tired looking playfield.

I've emailed 1stop, but in the meantime, can anyone link to me to some suitable drill polishing pads? Would wool pads be too aggressive?

 

[abaxas]

I'm just saying be careful. The world is full of people who have destroyed a car's finished by polishing too hard.

 

[carl lawrence]

The kit has the polishing pads in it ,doesn't it?

 

[Spandangler]

The treasure cove does yes. three larger pads and 3 smaller. Also includes the Velcro arbor bits.
