Collectors maintenance

In fact if the discolouration is really bad start with coarse paper (#240?) and work up the grades to 1000 or even 1500 before your chosen metal polish.


I hope whoever reads this realizes that you can only remove so many particles of any given surface before you hit bare metal....then talk about an ugly finish. Smile
