Just thought i'd have a tidy up on the 110, tried a Dremmal with a fine wire brush on the checker plate, going to take a silly amount of time to complete now that I've done a patch!:der:

Anyone know a better way to clean it up?
 
scotchbrite will work. you could also try an angle grinder with a wire brush on, or blast cleaning or some sort.... "sandblasting", but not done with sand (!).

ice blasting works well but its expensive

i could see an angle grinder with a wire brush getting a bit out of control? and potentially damaging paintwork etc
 
If the Chequered plate is Aluminium the don't use a wire brush! Ive found that Silvo which is recommended for Aluminium works very well if its not got that white corrosion :D
 
Will give all a try in order of least destruction!

other half has B&D mouse sander with a polishing pad, might try that to!
 
Foam pad with a directional polisher and cutting paste. Destroys the pads pretty quickly though but brightens it up nice, thing is is just oxides again and looks dirty.
