Hey Henry,

Just curious, how did you get the scuffed knob looking so pretty?

Hey Henry,
Just curious, how did you get the scuffed knob looking so pretty?

    Well  first I soaked it in My Carburetor Vat (small 1 Gallon size )/ then painstakingly scraped off the residue buildup then 0000000 Steel Wool /then 1500 sand paper/then 2000 sand paper /then 2500/ then Red Turtle Wax Heavy Duty Rubbing Compound /Then buffed like Hell and thar she Blows.....
Surprised there was a knob left after all that huh ?
