Most satisfying Job ever!
Spent a happy couple of hours this afternoon attacking the stainless steel sill trims on my Baby with a Dremmel and a tube of Solvol metal polish. Very relaxing and therapeutic.
They didn't look too bad to start with, but it's incredibly satisfying to see all the little scratches and scuffs disappear as you progress along the trim. It did fling a lot of fluff into the door hinges though, so had to give them a clean out afterwards. The same door hinges that I cleaned only a week or so ago. Still very relaxing though. Cliff

Go for it Clyde, I really did find it strangely satisfying. Like a lot of these jobs, it doesn't make a huge difference, and very few would ever notice, but it's fun to do and quite rewarding in an odd way.
I also had a go at my "Crofts" door finishers once I'd finished with the sill trims. Not the most exciting photos I've ever taken! Guilty! Cliff

With the trims I wss thinking it was the door kick plate trims as the side trims are painted in my ZTT. Are these able to be polished? |

For the plastic sill finishers, I use Solvol Autosol Plastic Polish
I'll have to give my door finishers a go too Cliff, looking a bit tardy atm |
