Thanked: 3215The trick to polishing, is sanding out all the deep scratches, use progressive finer grits, ending at least at 2k before moving to polishes.
Micro mesh sanding pads are worth the money, and last a long time. You can find fine Wet and Dry, sand papers at Wallmart, up to 4-5k in the Automotive department, some Ace hardware and at Automotive Paint supply stores, or on line.
Novus is a great polish designed for plastics, come in 3 grits and a small bottle set sells for about $12, great on headlights. Most good metal polishes will polish plastics, horn and bone.
I like Mothers, Mass and Flitz and lately been using the 3M marine metal polish recommended by Outback in the, What are you working on thread recently.Last edited by Euclid440; 01-17-2017 at 04:56 PM.
