Lunar Cone Stuck

[Pete]

Ok Guys

So i've just adopted my first Lunar - Yaay !   It needs a bit of a polish up starting with the cone, but I can't seem to get it off the bottle.  I've unscrewed the tip thinking this holds it on but the cone is stuck tight and I don't want to use any undue force in case I damage it.

 

Also, what are you guys using for polish.  I've tried Autoglym metal polish on a tarnished Telstar fin, but although it cleans and polishes it up nice & shiny, i'm left with faint swirl sratch marks - even with using a microfibre cloth.....

.....yes Tim, very minimal damage to just the cone. It's got a couple of small dimples round one side and a surface scuff here & there.  The bottle fluid is exeptionally clear for it's age and has a great flow.......not sure how many hours it's going to take to polish it up, but as it's my first Lunar, it's going to be a labour of love.  Intending to post some photos as I progress restoration.

One of my Lunars also had the cone siliconed to the bottle. Now that was fun trying to pry it off.
