    I use Autosol, but Brasso should work. Remember to degrease after polishing

    Do yourself a favour and get some Autosol from halfords or something, Brasso is a bit gutless.
    Good deals with these members

    Do I need to polish the compression cylinder? Or is it just the outside of the piston?
