Has anyone ever tried using Brasso with a toothbrush? It seems that it would
work better on the textured 2x3 slopes. I personally used Brasso, with a
cloth, to remove the printing from the McDonalds sets. I was surprised to
see that once the printing was removed that the brick was just as smooth and
glossy as before the printing was applied.
After that success and with a 99.97% full can of Brasso <g> I tried
removing slight scuff marks from a few other pieces. Not only did it appear
to remove the scratches, it brought back the original luster.

| Is this something that one could mechanise? Ala a buffing wheel or the like. Purely hypotehtical question for me, the thought of actually removing printing (even happy meal printing) makes me blanch, Blanche! (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
