Autosol and some elbow grease.



I believe you can get both from your local Halfrauds.

Dumb question possibly but is Autosol S/S Polish the same as ordinary Autosol or is it one and the same?.
By that question I am asking is one an abrasive and the other a polish

If it's stainless, a fine wet and dry will be quicker first or a rotary polisher.

1500 wet and dry then autosol after will bring that back lovely :)

It seems to be not as abrasive as Autosol (which I've used on stainless soo many times). Got a higher oil based content by the smells of it.

Its brought up the clean sections nicely, just needs a good buff and its slowly lifting the marks

Update time.

Spent a good hour with the Autosol and the worsts away.
The S/S polish is thinner than autosol and is good
