Re: Best way to clean up and preserve patina

You take 1000 and 2000 grit sandpaper and let it soak in water. Then you use it to sand the paint, start with 1000 then 2000, usually by hand. Then you use an electric polisher with a foam pad ( some prefer wool at this step), like 7", and apply a cutting compound according to the instructions on the product. Then do the same with a buffing compound, here you have to use a foam pad. Wipe clean with a micro fiber towel.
