You're going to do fine, Gregg. Keep us posted with photos as you make progress and if you get stuck, there are a hundred of us Monday morning quarterbacks around waiting to give away advice for free. lol

Break a leg. I have a 60's SBP Ludwig sister set sitting over here, can't wait to see how your Slingy version come out. I 'almost' bought those myself, so I'm rooting for you on this end.

Too many great drums to list here!

Jeff great idea thanks. That will certainly save some time chasing it down locally.

Thanks John I'll for sure ask Q's if I get stuck on something. Yes I saw you were in line before me for these too. I thought for sure they'd be snagged as I was like #4 on the list. Alex was nice to let me pick them up in person which made things so much easier vs shipping. Worked out great.

Many thanks to everyone for the advice!! :)

I'm new to restoring and have a few kits that could use work.

Forgive my ignorance - what does Novus do for a shell?

It is just a polish. It will make your drum look nice and shinny! A very good product indeed.

Thank you!

Will it, by chance, help "restore" a finish? I have some faded BDP that could have the life brought out in it...

[COLOR="Red"][SIZE="5"]STOP THE PRESSES ! ![/SIZE][/COLOR] . . . YOU DO NOT NEED ANY OF IT. I was an avid user of it until I accidentally was cleaning hardware and got some on the plastic wrap of the drum shell when I cleaned it off I was surprised at the results. I have used MOTHERS MAG WHEEL CLEANER That's right MOTHERS MAG WHEEL CLEANER AND POLISH directly on most of my vintage wraps and it is easier, faster, only one step, cheaper and produces a better result than NOVUS. I'll never go back !!!. No worries I have used it on ALL of my nickle etc. metal parts and with a buffer[Dremel] its stellar and way less work. On vintage or modern Plastic wrap it is amazing and causes no damage what so ever. I did a side by side panel of both. MOTHER HANDS DOWN !!! ANY AUTO STORE A SMALL TUB OF THE CREAM. . .

JoeyB that's very interesting. I used the Mothers polish on my hardware and it worked great. I thought about trying it and thought it might harm the wrap and was hesitant to try it. I have almost every Mothers car care product and have used them for years on our cars. I'll give it a shot and see what heppens thanks. I went to the local Harley dealer to see if they carried Novus only to find they went bankrupt and closed their doors a few months ago.

I'm a Novus believer, but I'll definitely try the Mother's suggestion. I can't believe they went under!
