Bill,
It's super on all metals. Look at this endplate. Took 5 to 7 minutes.
I did the inside of the case too/ Got rid of the black spots were the aluminum rubbed
Just used upholstery cleaner and cheap white cloths

Great job, JB! Your attention to detail is astounding! Thanks for sharing your experiences with these products...takes a lot of the guesswork out of such projects.

Looks awesome, John. Did you completely recover the case, or simply glue down the loose areas? If recovered, how? What type of glue? That spray on fabric glue?

JB, Great job bringing new life to a great old case. It must have put quite a shine on the child's orthodonture.
How did you restore the inside? |

Tim,
Case is not recovered. that's the old stuff. glued back down with contact cement.
I cleaned the inside with upholstery cleaner from Blue Coral. Used cheap white washcloths and my collection of old toothbrushes to get into the corners,
