garrard 301 - how to polish chassis paint.


Hi, I have an old 301.The chassis cream color paint is in very good condition: no scratches or any other imperfections, but the color looks yellowish because the age I assume. Can you recommend me a good and safe way to gently polish the finish to make it look great again?. Thanks in advance

Scratch X from Meguiar’s removes minor and medium scratches and is therefore a much more abrasive " strong compound" than a normal polish, wanting to choose Meguiar’s there is the polish for metallic paints "color X" which is slightly abrasive.


Hi, the sun’s rays and light make the colors yellow; I don’t think there are products to make the frame white again.
If, on the other hand, the frame has only lost its original luster, a good polish product for car bodies is the right solution.
But be careful if originally the color wanted by the manufacturer was opaque (not shiny) the car polish will make the paint shine and would no longer be original.
I've seen a few garrard 301 401 in the past but you'd better show some photos with the problem.
  Dab on (inconspicuous area) some Clorox bleach with a small tip artist brush. Let it go to dry, buff off and check the results. If it works, it won’t be a permanent solution, there’s no way to stop the yellowing. Or, just leave it be. Patina is kind of a badge of honor IMO.


good idea
