So, my little sax has been sat around for over 9months.. just got her back on the road after spending an absolute fortune.. (42quid lol)
Its black and to be fair after a wash looked in mint condition, but obviously once dry i started noticing abit of oxidation (flatness in paint/dull spots)
So i popped down to local shitfords and grabbed some t-cut/cloths etc.
With the sun shining no sight of rain i decided to crack on and give her a nice polish up.. after 5 minutes i regretted it.. stuck with it.. half hour later.. still on same spot..
Ive cleared all the oxidation that i can see but it took a fuck load of pressure and killed my arms, but when trying to remove the t-cut i just get what can only be discribed as blemishes.
Would it be easier to just grab a buffer, pay someone to do it, or is there any type of colour restorer thats alot less hassel but gives great results?
Ive ended up just grabbing loads of washing up liquid and washing the t-cut off becasue it looks worse then it did when i started.. :wall:
