but I have to say to certainly is easier to work on the PF now

PF fully stripped and started the clean
I've used elbow grease and various compounds but wasn't happy with the gloss achieved....
so I plumped for a Treasure Cove Polishing Kit via 1 Stop Pinball, great people and very helpful. Here's the final finish, I caught the top half of the PF in the light to show the shine achieved over the entire PF

thanks Kev for the advice however the only tool I now haven't got is something to cut this blumming metal
I can't believe how strong it is, it's beat me 
I can get a special cutter for it we have one at work
Do you have any plans for that one Kev? Looks much more sturdy than mine is!
OP
OP
I seem to be missing some kind of post and the other I'm not sure is correct. Has anyone got a picture of this gate or can let me know what the two posts should be
Dunno if this is any better
I'm sure that's were the mist ball goes so should have a gate and Spring attached to a mini coil (with a blue wrapper)

It's obviously a common broken plastic because mines broke also, it's so thin where the break is it's difficult to fix.Well I accidentally got cellulose thinners on the skill shot plastic so I'd like to get another. I will touch it up if it comes to it but I'd rather replace. And this lil thin one
Anyone out there with two!! If there's just the one, it was your shout first so it'll be an Elastoplast on mine
