Fantastic job on the polishing, hope mine comes out like that when the time comes. Does the stink become less when you clean it? I've heard that it does. Looking at the cloth you used to clean the face of the tube, I wonder how many brighteners may have been fitted over the years that needn't have?

Yes, the stink is reduced with a good cleaning, but it's does creep back - especially on warm, humid days. Yes, it was quite dirty and I'm hoping it wil be noticeably brighter once back together.

Thanks. 320, 600, 1000, 1500 then Novus #3 and #2. Yes, I just used water.
