Eh up all,
As some of you know i got my daughter a 11 plate 1.2 Lounge last week and am slowly working my way through the mechanics - preventative and cosmetics.
Our front headrest steel legs were heavily oxidised - from what ive looked at at this age most i saw have been the same.
Anyway - as daughters do this was a major issue !!!!!!!!! ( this was after been under the car sorting a list as long as my arm out on brakes / oil / sump !!")
So after pondering and looking at the finish i elected to :-
Try a cutting compound - no effect
T Cut - no effect
So :-
Got some 800 wet and dry
Water
Rubbed until the corrosion was gone - surface was dull with fine scratches as you would expect.
Then used 3M MOP polish by hand and hey presto sparking finish returned.
Its worth 15 minutes of time and brings the rests up a treat.
Hope this helps someone out
Cheers
