Ultimate Compound

I bought a bottle of this as a last ditch to bring up a gloss on a truck I had bought.  It worked so well, I tried it on the painted surfaces of my Edison cylinder phonograph.  It brought up a gloss like it was freshly finished.  Knowing that older phones have a similar painted finish, I thought I would let you know about it.

To be honest, I have never touched any of my phones with Novus or any other polishing product (except for Brasso for my metal parts), I have used this stuff from the very start. I get the bottles at Walmart, which cost about half as much as a bottle of Novus, IIRC.

I have gone through about ten bottles over the course of my hobby, and it hasn't let me down yet! Definitely recommended by me!!!

When I used it on the painted surfaces of my cylinder player I checked the cloth for any black residue from the black paint as I do with any abrasive.  Even with the nice shine I got from it, it was only a light brown, indicating it was only getting surface dirt, which was what I was hoping for.  It even did a really nice job in it's intended task on my truck.
