Hi Paul, I have been reading this thread and looking at both the parts cleaned and my own parts and I am not 100% convinced that the parts are fibreglass. If you look closely at the snorkel cups, you will see numerous round markings on some of the flange surfaces and inside. These are ejector pin marks which are common and necessary in the plastic injection moulding process. They also have a level of detail that is hard to acheive in fibreglass. In addition the parts do not have the "feel" of fibreglass. I may be wrong, but I think thay are a form of plastic (possibly an ABS). If they are in fact plastic, they can probably be sanded and polished to remove scratches. I would also not suggest that one uses lacquer thinner to clean them as lacquer thinner will eat most plastics faster than Wimpey can eat a hamburger. But as you say, always test in an inconspicuous place. Cheers
I agree Randy. It's some kind of plastic. I soaked my parts in a degreaser like simple green & water over night and most of the paint that was on them came off surprisingly easy. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. Paul
Now and Then sells the correct sharp edged foams for these cleaners now. They look mutch nicer than the Year One Specials.
