AIGG-RK1 : Good Kit for nitrocellulose finishes

9 years ago

Overall I am satisfied with the product, with the exception of the metal cleaner cream, which becomes layered after a few months of use. Otherwise the brush and the cloths are made of quality materials and seem like they would last for a long time. The actual polishing cream takes quite a polishing before it starts looking shiny, but once it does it stays for weeks, even on non-nitro finishes, by which I was quite surprised! The lemon oil on the other hand looks a bit thin and watery, but once you apply it, it does the job like any other.

Compared with other products I have used over the years, this kit comes at a reasonable prise and includes a lot of things that could be used for a long period of time, provided of course they are used in a small-scale restoration/maintenance operation. However, the bottles appear quite small and the polishing cream (which usually finishes first when you buy a set) might rung quite fast if you are maintaining a lot of instruments.

The only two features that I find not up to the quality level of for example the products of Dunlop are are the cloths and the lemon oil, but in terms of performance they are about the same!
