  • Any tips for cleaning up flakey paint and polishing the bare metal? My Donohue could do with a similar treatment!

  • I use one of those wire brush wheels on a grinder for the rusty bits - they're not as aggressive as they look.

    for fiddly bits I use scrunched up bits of aluminium foil or thin strips of emery cloth

    If I want a really good polish on the exposed bits I then use super-fine emery cloth, and a once-over with Autosol.

    Degrease with a solvent of your choice - I use car brake cleaner and then clear-coat
