Rub n Buff

[Jon S]

Having read the recommendations from you clever folks I bought some of the magic silver cream some months ago.
As the day dawned nice and not too hot I thought I'll sort out the tatty looking snowflake wheels on Brunhilde', Mrs JonS is out for the day so why not.
Following a quick scrub down with a stiff nylon brush to get the oxide off the said product was applied using a Mk1 finger wrapped in a clean lint free cloth.
After a couple of hours graft, several cups of coffee, two sore silver plated fingers later, by eck! what a transformation! Those once tatty looking wheels look almost new again

To avoid sore and stained fingers, next time use Mrs JonS's toothbrush.

If Mrs JonS is a fan of the 'Jaws' character in the James Bond films, then she will also be delighted with the similar coloured teeth!

Has anyone attempted to darken the silver to tone it down a little ?.

The Pewter colour would do that I expect.

[Tony the Skin]

Will give that a try

Happy with the pewter?

Sometimes I get the temptation to try Gold on the R25/3 engine and gearbox.
