[Healeys] Door shut face finisher pieces resotration

[Daniel and Diane White]

Hello List,
I searched the archives looking for the proper technique to restore my 
shut face finisher pieces and found a recommendation to use 00 or 000 
steel wool then spray them with clear flat or semi gloss lacquer.  I 
wasn't big on using the lacquer spray so here's how I did them.  First I 
removed the areas of paint over spray and bits of factory adhesive from 
the front side of the pieces using paint stripper.  Then rinsed.  Then 
used a medium/fine Scotch Brite pad on the surfaces to clean them.  They 
looked blotchy and now had a real shine to them (not the frosted finish 
as when new).  So then I wet the surface and sprinkled on Comet Non 
Abrasive Cleanser with Bleach, gave them a good scrubbing, rinsed with 
warm water and  blotted them dry with paper towel.   They came out very 
nice and best of all they have the nice frosted finish I wanted.  I 
don't know why but it works.  Hope this helps anyone contemplating 
redoing these pieces.
Regards,
Dan
