I find a Braun Electrotoothbrush to be more and more a tool of the trade since it is through but gentle! I have used toothepaste and clorox scrub powder and today I used Orange Pumice cleaner as the pumice is very mild.

See the results for yourself:

Yes, that does do an excellent job without removing the darker paint in the lettering. You must be getting another Bendix up and running. They are so kool. My favorite of all the F/L's. There is nothing else quite like them.

Oh Jon great pictures, and I agree electric toothbrushes do work well for gentle yet thorough detailing.

Jon that is one beautiful machine. Those knobs just glow with the little light on them. How many Duomatics do you have? One day I sure want to see all of them.
