Knew a bloke once, he would take his piles ointment orally. Last I heard he could only eat jelly beans, but he can whistle real good.

I use Mothers aluminium polish, followed by a silver wadding polish. Mirror finish guaranteed.

Hi Chappers

Which wadding polish do you prefer?

By way of an experiment I have just bought:

Original Autosol
Autosol Aluminium
Mother's Mag and Aluminium
Peek Metal Cleaner

I'm going to do a comparison test and will report the results later, happy to add a wadding finish to the list.

Regards Mick

I use Silvo wadding.

For the full, get to mirror finish of an old part with pitting:
800 wet/ dry
2500 wet/dry
Buffing wheel with red polish
Mothers polish
Finish off with a wadding (silvo/ brasso)

Hi Mick, another to add to the list that gives a good finish on aluminium is Autoglym Metal Polish, you may run out of things to polish at this rate!

Today I have mostly been at the VMCC NW show at Rainford. Very wet day but some interesting vehicles caught my eye. An NSU Quickly in mint green and a Bantam trials with a Sunbeam (BSA) scooter engine. I know, I said the "S" word but even I have to admit it looked good. Originally built by Odgie.

Hey Spooky - nothing wrong with Sunbeams. Here's mine at a local show last year picking up the silverware. The pre war class was also won by a Sunbeam.

Absolutely right Jim. Nothing wrong at all with Sunbeams, love 'em. It was the other "s" I was referring to i.e. parka trolley!
