Pete Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 You could but remember it only goes one way!! I'd use the compound polishes if I were you matey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yeah but i don't know exactly which etc, you'll have to use a few different grades and a some finishing compounds i imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
