October 27, 200816 yr I agree Autosol or if you stay near an Asda, go to the pound bit and grab something called Doktor Power. Hope this helps.
October 27, 200816 yr Author Ive already bought some autosol so i'll try that with wire wool. And im going to asda tomorrow for my monthly shop so i'll buy thats stuff aswell and give that a bash
October 27, 200816 yr Be careful with the wire wool - depends on which one you get as there is different levels of abrasiveness Ive got some 0000 wire wool, the finest sh*t you can get Works wonders, if its difficult to work on, use some wd40 on the wool (but make sure you clean it throughly after)

November 5, 200816 yr Steak? Is that joined up meat then? I dunno, but Oldgit has some funny used for wd-40 when it comes to his meat.
