For stainless steel I use 1500 sandpaper For hard to get places I will use fine steel wool. Finish with Autosol paste polish.(almost useless) Both wipers and windsreen moulds were done like this.

Engineer has given it a tick of approval
Went staight thru for the blue slip. One of the workers was drooling over it, and wanted the ph no of the guy that did the upholstery Rego all paid now and ready to start burning some fossil fuel Speaking of fuel I put in a new Rare Spares XB fuel sender unit in this week and checked the shape of the pick up pipe against the one i removed and the new one has a bend in it half way down to lift the filter tip up off the floor of the tank about 2 inches. Yep.... they had them all made with the bend going the wrong way. I put it in the vice and bent it back down so it will just touch the floor of the tank when installed with the lock ring. I have just come back from the wheel aligner this afternoon and cant believe how nice it steers no pulling or tram tracking at all. I thought I may of had issues because of the wide 265/50/15 tyres it is running up front.
