Did it improve the radio reception? 
Not yet Graham
Still waiting on completion of a house sale before I dare spend anymore money!
The process was quite easy
Wet and dry to scuff off the brushed look then down to 2000 grit wet and dry then used a bench polisher to buff up,,, the gear knob needs a bit more work really but it'll only scratch anyway so I'm happy with it.
It looks class not chav,,, well I think so anyway
Good thanks.
Miles away from you now as have moved to Cardiff. Shame we couldn't have caught up before I left Harborough.
I could have done with some polishing lessons from you. I bought a set of GKN Jensen alloys for the Rover a while back and bought some polishing mops and soaps from ebay. Enjoyed messing with them and did a half reasonable job but I'm sure you could have done better.

My family are Welsh so your not that far away mate, nah, it's just a few hrs here and there really, I think the soft top struts might take sometime to do but it's such a good compliment to the car and I do it with this childish excitement at the final results, it last for Yonks with the odd buff after it's done so well worth it.
It's good to hear the cars ok,
how's the Rover, you had crank issues awhile back,

Rover's in storage ATM - made some headway on the vibration issue but not fully sorted yet.
I find I can remove the centre console without removing the "golf ball" which gives easier access to the allen headed screw.
Three screws to remove the centre console two at the front, one each side and one under the tray at the back and lift it off carefully. That remvoes the centre section IIRC.

I've been wondering if I should grease the door cables so that sounds like a good idea Alan, did yours have grease applied or just some liquid lube or nothing at all ? I find I can remove the centre console without removing the "golf ball" which gives easier access to the allen headed screw.

Shouldn't need lubricating at all. They're actually quite short and with no sharp kinks in them so shouldn't be an issue.Cheers Al,
