I've used the polishing shop for a while, they were just round the corner from the works at hednesford where I was based. They also do a lot of flex belts cheap which are good for cutting open and you used to end up with a couple of metres very cheap for each belt.


As has been said, very helpful guys there.

That's what I thought, it was a great shine, but then I tried the menzerna compounds and the P175 for the final polish, great for metal and plastics alike.

Just put an order in at the Polishing Shop for their standard wood polishing kit, not a bad price at £25.If it's rubbish I'll blame you Peter haha.

I was talking about their plastics kits:thumbs: I didn't buy any kit, I don't think they had them when I bought mops and compounds. I have mops and compounds for stainless, brass and aluminium as well as wood and plastics. I doubt you will be disappointed as long as you use them correctly. One of the best finishes I like is just with sanding sealer and buffing.

Hi Peter, I've ordered the wood polishing kit but as the final polishing compound is the same in both cases i.e. Menzerna a Yellow, I thought that would be OK on plastics anyway.
