Itailian stuff

Post by klonder »

"I bought a Malloch salmon reel last year to match an Alexander Grant greenheart I was restoring for use.
I tried various polishes but it was pretty hard work. I posted my reel on a reel forum and a guy responded saying that he used an Italian pipe cleaner to restore the ebonite. I was dubious but bought some on amazon or perhaps ebay for about £10.
I was amazed, within about half an hour, it cut through all the built up oxidation and restored the sideplates to black. The metal polish I was using previously like Menzerna was very slow work in comparison and didn't remove as much.
Savinelli stem polish is the stuff"

Posted elsewhere. Anyone here ever heard of or used this stuff? Aiuto per favore. Thanks
