Spit and Polish

[Lure-Nut]

I've been looking for an effective way of carefully bring the sparkle back to lures that may not have lived the perfect life - here's what I'm using at the moment and it's working like a gem

A product in a tube called 'Meguiars Scratch X - Fine Scratch and Swirl Remover'. It's an automotive product that I apply / rub on with a sponge or cotton bud and then finish up with a microfibre cloth polishing - gotta say, it's smarter if the trebles are removed first but it leaves the lure squeaky clean !!!

Click on the examples below of a Deception Shrimp, before and after pics ... original lure had bad rust marks and was dirty .... now looks like new with absolutely no swirls or marks from the product !!! Now I wouldn't recommend using it on your pen signatures and 'fortunately' it won't remove bass / yellowbelly fine teeth marks, but untill someone comes up with something better it's where I'm at.

How about everyone else, am always looking for better ideas

It came up well Rob, for getting rid of general grunge on lures I have found that Orange Cleaner works well

Did you use it on the bib as well?

Used it to clean the sides of the bib ....

Just grabbed a brand new bib from previous lure making days and rubbed it vigorously with 'Scratch X' using a small Meguiras round sponge - absolutely no minute scratches at all noticeable on the bib when held up to the light

the only 2 things you need or lanolin in replace of the wax but wax is better....

Mully .... followed your tip and bought the Chux Magic eraser and tried it out on a few, certainly does the cleanup job well, but IMHO the Scratch X gives a more polished outcome and you don't need the wax follow-up

Hi Raffey, haven't tried PlastX but would be great to see if it works.

ScratchX is an excellent product and I've had no problems with it at all - just be careful with signatures
