Right guys I have taken delivery of a rather dirty Scoobysport Back Box

It has "Rust" spots on it and is generally in a rather sorry state

I started with Meguiars NXT Metal polish last night and was making painfully slow progress but was getting it back to a nice shine

BUT

is there a quicker way?

I have a PC but wasn't sure what to use on it pads or polish?

any thoughts ?

White spot pads and NXT works well on stainless, just keep the speed to no more than 3-4. In serious cases an intitial buzz with Autosol via a white spot pad is superb for lifting the worst of the defects, but this will leave a little hazing - however, quick go with NXT and another white pad will fix this. Just be generous with the NXT as it breaks down very quickly by PC.

PS - Failing that, I've just got the first batch of Blackfire Fine Cut Metal Polish in - if you fancy waiting and trying some out it will be in the store early next week. It's designed for use with the PC, although can also be used by hand.

You will need a smaller 3.5" backing plate, and I'm afraid I've been tied up for the last couple of hours, so haven't downloaded the order yet... and the post office collection has already taken place. It'll now be posted first thing Monday - if you want to add a backing plate pm me a contact number and I'll give you a call to amend the order and take the extra dosh.
