thanks in advance

Look how nice and small the emery boards on the far left are! This is the only reason I buy emery boards and I'm female, hahah! I might cut them in half or thirds, but I <3 dollar stores.

Great suggestion, I use the dollar store for custom parts if you use your imagination its greatCheaper than the hobby store ones. I have a set of mini Mastercraft metal files I use as well as the more expensive hobby sandpaper file.

I had some cheaper metal files from PA but they weren't that great

What are people's results with restoring chrome with aluminum foil scrubbing? How much better does it look?
