Well… I used to work with Jason Dawe (Top Gear 2002), that is how close I will ever be from James May, probably…!Are you James May?
Did you know you could polish dampers as well??

lighter and cheaper than chrome... lasts 3 to 4 days depending on weather conditions.

10/15 degrees and 2mm
others may do it slightly different,but so long as you have some sort of chamfer on there as opposed to a sharp square edge,it will help lube....as the square edge scrapes oil off.
