Meguiars Plastic Polish.

[mbradley]

Slightly off topic....we used to remove scratches from motorcycle crash helmets with toothpaste

 

It was said to be the 'least aggressive' abrasive available

 

Maybe a silly question, but has anyone tried it on FP's

 

Old post but, yes I have used toothpaste on a Platinum President and it worked exceptionally well.

I am glad for that, this is a great bunch of folks.

Thanks for this amazing tip. Meguiar's plastx works miracles. I bought a bottle at parts source and used it to remove scuff marks and micro scratches from my 149

A question about using McGuiar's. Was the sandpaper for the demo, or should a scratched pen be sanded before using the McGuiar treatment.

Adam, I work in the car repair business and we have used Mags for a long time.

 

If you only want to shine your pen, you don't need to sand it. Use PlasticX only. The PlasticX is a very fine abrasive polisher.

 

Only if you have scratches on your pen, you can use a 1000 grit sand paper to fix it. Than you finish your work using the PlasticX.

 

One thing to consider is that any sanding paper will leave fine scratches too. Some brands have finer sanding papers and your choice will depend on the damage level.

 

3M has 1200 and even 3000 grit abrasives. I wold prefer use 1200 instead 1000 grit to start. Than 3000 and finely PlasticX.

Also, I want to thank LWW for this excellent tip. I never thought about using any car abrasives on my pens. PlastX is a wonderful idea!!!

 

 

I apologize for my English.
