hoover 700 polish

[hoover119dude]

hi all,

i was wondering what is the best brand of polish to use on my hoover 700?? i have seen a few polished to a high mirror shine but as mine is a rebuild i dont know if it would look good that way.

but i still want it to be as clean looking as it can. here in the uk there might be different brands of polish than in america. any advice would be great. gary.

nevermind folks i will figure it out.

What kinds of polish do you have

'over there"? We have stuff like 'Mother's', Brasso, Barkeeper's Friend, Turtle Wax. Simonize,.....

rugsucker told me to use an ultra fine steel wool. not sure weather i should or use brasso. hmmmm

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I was tols to NEVER let Brasso touch

anything painted, as it will take it right off. But, it does a great job polishing plastic hoods, etc. I first learned of Brasso when I worked in a church. There is lots of brass (candelabras, etc) there.

no . nothing is painted. i guess they didnt tend to paint hoover rebuilds over here as i have never seen any.

I would try Autosol on it - you can buy it (in a tube) from Halfords. It great for bringing up plastics too but it is primarily a metal polish.

Try it first in an inconspicuous area first just in case

Use whatever you can find that is a good polish for aluminium. Here in the US, we have Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish. It is designed for magnesium and aluminum car rims and works wonderfully on early Hoovers without scratching.
