    Trigger sear polishing

    Sear, accursed spellchecker.

    Morning all.

    Lidl have their Dremel fit sets in stock today.

    One of these sets is a polishing set that has several shapes of green tipped tools that appear to be grindstones.

    These are actually some sort of rubber with a polishing compound in it.

    They are the absolute bees knees for bringing metal parts to a mirror finish and do so after only a very minor touch.

    £3.99 or 2 for £6!

    IMHO based on experience not worth the money.
    Better stick with quality tools.

    I prefer using worn out wet and dry paper for polishing as it doesn't take too much off

    As above, very fine wet and dry, 1000 grade, then 1500 grade, final polish with toothpaste.

    It'll only cost you £3.99 to try them out, you most likely won't be going back to wet & dry and toothpaste.

    Might I recommend to you both cockpit glass polishing kits, start at 5000 grade & go down to 25,000 grade, sadly since leaving the RAF I'm not sure where to get them
