[QUOTE="Howard, post: 50318, member: 271"] Toothpaste used to be made with very fine sand, so it would probably have been ok as a grinding paste, but I don't know what it's made from now. A friend of mine used to rally Minis in the 60s and used to use toothpaste to clean the windscreen - sand for dead flies and soap for grease. I assume this is well known, but a friend's father was in the RAF during the war, and he used Brasso to clean fine scratches out of Perspex screens - an even finer abrasive. H [/QUOTE]
