I've got items of door furniture (letter box, knocker etc) that are

I've tried Brasso and lots of elbow grease but I'm just not getting
down to a level where it would make a difference.

So I'm looking for the best way to get them all buffed up by using
something that I can attached to my drill.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Solvol Autosol (from Halfords) and a mop attachment for your drill.

Funny you should say that. I just purchased some Solvol Autosol (brought
back memories of the late 60s and motorbikes) and I have a Dremel with
suitable attachment. For exactly this purpose. I just don't have the
circular tuit right now.


Not polish: wipes off with paraffin and if you don't oil it you end up
having to grind off the marks made next time it rains. I ruined the finish
on my Ducatti with the stuff before I realised, and went for anodising and
wax instead.
