I wonder if there are any long term effects of using Brasso on ABS.  Will it
deteriorate the plastic over time?  Or do you then wash the piece when you are
done with the Brasso?

Eric is pure genius when it comes to design (as you shall see).  Now, NOONE • can

I have not seen this particular part without a print on it.  How is the print

scratched, or grungy pieces.
