Well, that could be fixed, but it'd take a LOT more work...HarryMunk wrote:Cheers, shame about the colour though, eh?cjj wrote:Lookin' great so far!

Actually, I've got a bass that needs similar repairs. I kinda wish it was Jetglo
since that would be a lot easier to match than the Azureglo color that it is...Re: 1988 330/6 JG - Restoration on a budget

Tough call...I've not experienced Brit nappies...if they are like Turkish towels, then they probably won't work. You want cotton muslin cloth diapers.HarryMunk wrote:lol, If I stood outside my local with a Rickenbacker I'd be mugged within minutes, or freeze to death right nowjingle_jangle wrote:Pretty soon you'll be able to stand outside your local and play for real pocket change!
A question though, Paul. You talk of diapers being the best for polishing, my local supermarket has just disposables but a search on the internet (thankfully nobody at work saw me) got me to these. Are they the sort you mean?

Looks like I'll have to go with the high end microfibre cloths I use on the car then. Nothing cheap and scratchy, the car is black and I've spent hours getting the swirls, 'cobwebbing' and holograms out of the finishjingle_jangle wrote:You want cotton muslin cloth diapers.

Cotton T-shirts are my second choice; much better than microfiber cloths. I know lots of car guys love those things, but microfiber is abrasive on Rick CV, which is much softer than automotive clearcoat finishes.

Try these Ian - it's what I use. Soft cotton and inexpensive. I used microfibres once before and they clouded the surface, soft cotton is best.
