Has anyone had a good result from using 'headlight restorer' on turntable lids?

I'm having a stab with Brasso at the moment, it's certainly getting the scratches out, but early days yet. I was thinking Brasso first, then a polish with headlight restorer last? I used to use Brasso on scratched CD cases, before I ripped everything, now I recycle them.

It was you who prompted the question actually young jedi ...  My lid also needs some gentle restoration. I've looked at a test on youtube where he compared four different brands including brasso and headlight restorer. He found they were all as good as each other but didn't recommed using Brasso because it's a bit of a bugger to clean off and it's also pretty nasty stuff from a health point of view. I use brasso for cleaning my bronze turntable platter and it's never something I look forward to! |

I could tell you some old Navy stories about Brasso and white bread, but we won't go there  |

I think T-Cut works well, too?

When I had such things it was always 400-600-800-1000 grit- hard cut compound, medium compound, fine compound. Used to use the 3M car stuff, very good.

I'd guess UPVC restorer would work well too.

I've been using this and whilst I get a worthwhile improvement, it's never quite as good as I would like ... |
