Rear wheel spindle surface rust on the 400.

Was going to say something about rubbing first but I think I’ll just leave it there! 🤣

Orcade-Ian:
As it contains carnauba wax you not only get a decent finish but it's got a bit of protection too.  Not difficult to re-apply as and when but it seems to last well, even over Orcadian winters!

30 year old scruffy BMW boxer gearbox, stripped, cleaned, new gear-change springs and seals, then the rub n buff!

Johnny4428:
That is looking bloody good that Ian! Nice job. Would have said they look freshly painted!

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Presumably painted first or is the whole unit just Rub & Buff?
That will have taken a whole tube no?

Orcade-Ian:
Ted,
no paint, rub n buff applied with a toothbrush direct to the bare cleaned alloy casting.  It goes a hell of a long way - would have used far less than one tenth of a tube on that box.  Just keep applying a VERY tiny amount to the brush and keep working it in.  It's fantastic on cast alloy as you can see.

Also did the front brake calipers on the XJ-S after stripping, pickling in Bilt hamber Deox-C then sprayed with their Electrox followed by rub n buff - it's bullshit in a tube!
