Paul Allen 0 Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 I have just had the result of my life , i have just won a set of TT comps from an online auction site!!? for the tidy sum of 160 pounds !amazed I would like to go down the tried and tested route of polishing them up (Binliner you input would be appreciated).They have'nt been curbed but the laquer is beginning to come away, so dont really need a refurb. I thought i give it a go myself, can anyone tell me the best way to go about it. Link to post Share on other sites

Slim 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 You'll get Nitromors from B&Q or Homebase. Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I used the biggest kit from frosts... the surface wont be smooth enough to just polish you'll need to use an abrasive to smooth it first... my best tip would be dont rush it at any stage... make sure you remove ALL the scratches left by the previous mop before you move onto the next Link to post Share on other sites
