Just in case you need it.

The dark green are the roughest, they'll get rid of most of the marks quite quickly, however they can leave alloy a little rough, keep going up the grades and the marks will go however. DON'T press hard, just a light touch until you get used to them, observe the direction of the bristles, you'll find one side has a dot on it, those go to the underside. 2 on a mandrel works best.

These have an additional grade that my usual ones don't have so may be even better.

The whites are almost useless for alloy but for softer stuff like brass, gold etc they work just fine and remove very little, more like a fine polish like Solvol Autosol would remove.

Great for removing rust, good for decarbonising pistons etc, you'll find so many uses for these you'll wonder how you ever managed before. The only downside to these is that because they are rotary you'll find your face is covered with crap after some time, wear a mask as well, they do and can create dust.

Once you get used to them you'll find hundreds of uses, they can even remove old chrome if you're willing to persevere.

Just to let you know that my source has contacted me today to say he’s going to order some sets of the clutch basket rubbers this week, they are costing him around 53 euros a set. Then he has to post them to me, so more postage costs, then of course I’d have to post them to you. All told the total cost may end up somewhere between £55-60 a set. Even more if we get charged import duty but we are trying to avoid that by just sending them in pairs to keep the value down and under the threshold.

Due to the cost I haven’t ordered a lot of sets, so supply is very limited, let me know if you’re still interested please.
