Another neglected gg makes its way to my home

[Bubbertyboo]

Swapped this for a paps the other day received it this morning i was gobsmacked at the state and thought i was never going to be able to sort it out.

sadly i was told it was a complete ss ggts but what i got was a ssggts upto the top tube which was aluminum nickel and a stealth cap without rethreader disheartened i set about cleaning her up. there was a couple of nasty scratches from pliers on the bottom tube near the wings so was unable to get it perfect as i was wearing the wings away.I also fitted a ss round button while i clean the other one up.

some noob question mind if i ask what solution did you use to make it so shine

 

[Bubbertyboo]

I use a buffing wheel with black rouge polish for the deep scratches and then green rouge to finish of the shine.

 

[MegaDark]

thank you for the tips

Very nice indeed! I hate that people use deception to sell an item but you turned it around in your favor. Job well done!

That is truly professional work indeed. What a bargain. Although you could pretty much smell it from a trade for a PAPS with a GGTS. But it as others said it did turn to your favor. Great job! Well done.
