Hey!
Just to say I have tried this before on many kind of parts. My first try was
with an old fadded torso. It worked great! And yes it's working perfect with
trans part too. I did not find it to hard on the elbows! :)
You did not tell about it, but Brasso is also great to give life again to
scratched bricks (I mean very bad ones too) and alos to give a new flashy look
to old white parts !
I never used a motor sander and I won't do it. I am too affraid of the heat
produce by the friction.
Take care,
Yanick
