Well elbow grease thingy brings back a memory to when I was a lad and in carpentry class our teachers name was Bob Mower we used to call him Mortice Mower and he heared me say that in one of the classes anyway I was turning a bowl on the lathe that day and started to apply the wax coat and polish it when he said to me come on boy use some elbow grease i looked at him he went into his pocket and pulled out half a crown and said nip down the local shop and get some as we are out of it so off I went and looked a right pratt when I got back to class without it

| Re: cleaning chrome look exhaust?? WD40 is great for getting rid of tars spots etc. I used to use autosol but I've found Autoglym metal polish to be better. Dave
