    I must admit I've had my eye on this since Dennis mentioned it and a bar will be in my next order from Cookson too ',;~}~

    It really has done a fantastic job Shaun, I put it on with a felt bob then polished with a calico mop and was amazed!

    Excellent! I put some on my order today - my usual rouge and my green chromium (aka 'green rouge') do work but it takes a lot of fuss to get it right sometimes as they're really not for plastics at all - in some cases the only way to get it to work is to soak my smallest polishing mop with water and dish soap before applying the compound, then buff it wet for a good while. This can be very messy at the speeds required heheheh...

    Can't wait to see if this stuff improves my process and results - cheers again!

    Shaun.
