Looks much better!

How many times did you bust your fingers up while doing it with the EO Never-Dull? I know I did a few times.

I ended up getting pretty good results with Mothers polish and a power ball, inside and out. And only busted my hands up when removing the polish.

Yeah, I was looking for my mothers, but I guess I haven't unpacked it.... after being here a year.


The Never Dull worked well though. The very first time I polished it took about 15-25 minutes per side. It was a pain. But this time it only took about 5 minutes per side. I guess because I knocked off all that seriously baked on nasty sh*t.

I was just amazed at the difference I could tell. I mean, seriously amazed.

Abrasive Polishing Compound? lol

Nope. Just hit it with Neverdull, cause that's what was laying around.

Hmmm never thought of the acronym that way but that's not what redlude was referring to... APC = All Purpose Cleaner. Examples of this would be Simple Green, Meguiars APC, Purple Power etc...

LOL... I know. It just popped in my head and I laughed.


And yes, I tried those first a couple months ago. It didn't so much as put a dent in it. Trust me when I tell you, that stuff was "baked on, not fried." It was ON there.

But they're clean now. As long as I hit them once every month or two I think it'll be easy to keep them "clean."
