pte1643 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 00000. or Five-Oh, (5-0), or however you want to say it, is generally used for polishing purposes. I've used it many times on Varnished Wood, Brass, Stainless etc, but yet to try it on plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
