i've been spending my afternoon playing around with polishing up components. i flatted back an old exage left hand crank with 240, then 400, then 600 grit wet and dry, only to realise that i dont have any higher grits
being resourceful (or "random" as the mrs calls it) i decided to try a few everyday household implements, and tried a few things ("pledge" as a rubbing compound only makes a mess) before settling on asda smart price "soap filled pads" (brillo pads to you and me, and 17p a packet)
for a 600grit flatting, i'm quite impressed with the shine they got up. doesnt show well on camera, and it's no mirror (gonna get some fancy sandpaper then try brillos again)
