Aye, we’ve launched summat new… but we haven’t forgotten t’original.

Just because True Gloss Finishing Wax has turned up all shiny and fancy (formerly Hampshire Sheen Gloss), doesn’t mean True Grit Abrasive Paste has been shoved to back o’ t’workshop.

It’s still grafting hard.
Still sorting rough bits out.
Still doing proper job without making a fuss.

Because round here, we don’t ditch summat that works,we stick with it till wheels fall off.

Who’s still putting True Grit to work? Show us what you’re making.
