That’s the difference between your self and other you tubers Martin your jobs always come up top notch
Absolute blinding job as per usual mate.
I'm soooooooo impressed.
And I couldn't agree with you more about TV 😂
Keep up the great work, you're a restoration wizard
Martin what is better in this video than that shiny lawnmower is you and your son working together to achieve greatness well done lads 👌
Thanks Paul
Nice work Gary and Martin! I am going to try out the pledge for my plastics. Thanks for the tip.
Nice one Bob, It works well.
It’s new. Not just looks. Well done lads
Should sell easily this one Mick
Looks brand new well done Martin and Gary👍👍
Looks great. Really like the engine stand also. That mower is far better than most new ones for sale today. Enjoyed the timelapse also
Cheers Paul.
Looks like it came out very nice. All it takes is some time and ability to make some things look and function like new. And like myself, you two seem to enjoy doing these projects also. A win win in my book. Thumbs Up to the both of you...
Exactly, well said Gary
first class job guys...well done...and brain dead TV.?...your spot on with that Martin.
Well done Martin and Gary. Just looking for the plastic restorer😍
Martin. Another great video, that lawn mower looks better than brand new. Shaun
i think that is much better paint job than was at new stage lol looks as good as new cool 👍😀👍
Thanks Rafal, I enjoy the simplicity of powder coat
That lawnmower has come up great and looks like new
Fantastic looking mower now Martin Will fetch a tidy penny 👍👍
Enjoyed the time lapse, parts were so clean , looked like a factory assembly line. Nice work guys, and thanks for sharing your tips !
Top job! I might give that pledge a go on my car bumpers as back to black 👍
Just said the same thing mate👌
I agree Martin I love working on mowers. Especially antique and vintage mowers. I think they’re a part of history and it’s a shame that people can just throw them away because they need to be rebuilt and they don’t think that the cost is feasible I love restoring and rebuilding them it’s just a labor of love and even if I don’t make a ton of profit off them and I break even that still knowing that in my mind I have saved something that could be saved from going to the crusher and it lives on to mow again
Thanks, yes it's a good hobby too
retrorestore your welcome And I definitely agree it can also be a really good hobby and I like the way that you restore them including the cosmetics. I try to restore every Push mower and garden tractor I get Fully cosmetically and mechanically but I will admit there are have been a few and I have one now that might not get a full cosmetic redo it’s a garden tractor that I’m working on but I try my best to restore them to expert spec most of the time within budget.
I must say, that mover lookes brand new !!👍
Hi thanks for the polish tip keep up the good work
What a beautiful job! I've never heard of that Pledge Revive-It before but I've got it on my shopping list now for sure. I restore mowers all the time (mostly rear wheel drive Toro Personal Pace mowers here in the US) and getting the black plastic to look good has always been a problem. Thanks so much for the tip!
The pledge looks a good product for the black bumper etc on my VW Topaz
That music you had on ,it made it almost like a James bond film !
Great job! That floor polish stuff really looks like it worked a treat! Thanks for the tip 😄
Thanks bud
Great video Martin... I see Barry stands in the corner whilst you do all the work...you want give that boy a kick up the backside! Lol 👌
Looks and sound great martin i will have to get some of the polish
It works a treat. £14.99 on Ebay and will last ages Roy.
Cracking job again lads
That Pledge really brought the plastic back to new. It's £14.99 on Amazon and on Ebay £20.99 currently.
Lovely looking mower, good job Martin and Gary. Nice to see Sharon.
Yes Barbara, I paid £14.99 for mine
Great content love all the health and safety tips too just one thing to point out tho learning from experience don't spray with the open flame gas fire on in the background I've had a flash back before spraying hope this helps.
Yeah, I know that Craig. Thanks anyway.
@@retrorestore no worries you know how people just follow you tube channels like pied piper someone with no knowledge will blow themselves up
Well done Gary you done an excellent job...🤣..
Great job guys ..
Sharon had to get involved..😆.
Great tip on the black plastic 👍👍
I did a little bit too Snobby lol
@@retrorestore LMAO...
Thanks for the plastic restore tip Martin . Another great video Thank You
Tip for black plastic. Using things like pledge etc gives very short lived effect so it is good for the day you sell it but no good for the new owner. If you want to revive faded black plastics (only works on black, soft plastics) use heat gun and "re-melt" the surface. It looks factory line new and stays that way for another decade. Some other plastics, like hard say red cutting level handles or handle bar screws do not react with heat other than burning to a crisp lol. Use WD-40 as it is "absorbed by the plastic (doesn't leave a greasy layer on top only) and returns the colour, say 90% to plastics which otherwise wee almost white. BTW, your paint job normally would cost more than the mower ;).
I know all those Pete, I've heard restorers say that the heat gun plastic thing doesn't last as well.
Superb End result Mart & Gary, & Another Quality Upload.
Baz.
Absolutely gorgeous Martin. Looks like new. Yeah you are right about “brain dead” tv shows. Only the sport is worth watching. Take care you two xx
That lawn mower came up a treat
Another great video Martin & Garry thanks for the top tip of the Pledge
Wow you have done a great job of doing that mower up. Must get some of that pledge revive it as my car has some faded plastic areas that need reviving.
Love the vids as always
Going to try that pledge on my car plastics lawnmower looks great

Nice job. Not sure if that was for you or not. Should bring in a tidy profit and help someone out for the summer.
Top notch chaps, looks great and thanks for the tips :)
Brilliant job there Martin first class
looks good i have always used a bit of wd40 to shine them up but i don't restore them i service and repair them for customers and no one is going to pay me to do all that lol
We enjoy doing them and it gives me video content.
Very nice Martin I be getting some of that stuff for my mowers looks grate
Mower is looking good,see you had some comments about you were wasting your time and money they just don’t get it do they
Haha, idiots Rob, they love to be negative.
Good to see Sharon! I was getting worried about her! 😉
She's fine.
Nice little project!
I used that brand before on one of my lawnmower plus as always great work Martin a lot of work has gone into the lawnmower
It should sell easy though
Brilliant job that's recycling at it best 👌👍
I BET THE REVIVE WOULD WORK ON THE CAR PLASTICS gr8t video martin
Yes it probably would
I was thinking the same I wonder how long it will last with rain etc, cheap enough to try though.
Think it should be fine as it needs to be tough for floors
retrorestore very true!
I wonder if that back to black for car trim would be any good :)
Is that the same gun you used to spray the cars with,if so he,s a handy little fella !!!😀
Yes, it's a handy little gun.
That looks great Martin and you're right the Pledge in wonderful. My I ask where you got the Pledge from it varies a lot in price on the Internet.
Well done!
Sorry I was writing at the end of your video, you have answered my question.
It's nice work Martin but it's all about getting em in cheap so there's enough meat on em at turnaround...
The better known brands are worth servicing & tidying up...🇬🇧☺️
In one of your videos can you talk about your dewalt tools please love your videos
Good job, would be nice to see how you mixed the laquer
I have plenty of vids on that Alan
@@retrorestore Cheers, checked out the pledge revive it £22 quid, !!is back to black any good on the plastics ?
I payed £14.99 on Ebay Alan
£14.99 on Ebay Alan.
I'm surprised you didn't spray the underneath of it as its immaculate on top. Just saying... not that I've done anything like this before, just hate rust.
Sometimes we do. Depends on the mower
@@retrorestore ok, you know best.
mint lads
Fantastic job well done thanks for the content
Thanks bud
retrorestore no problem pal
Another great video martin , where did you get the 1970s porn music from lol
Lol sounded a bit Austin powers to me yeah !
Nice job ,small paintboot would come in handy.
Not to complicated to make one.
Little off, what happened to Mondeo?
We sold that ages ago
nice
Thanks Pete
Hi Martin yet another great Restore, can you successfully use that Pledge Revive It (before I purchase) on car bumpers/vinyl externally as current stuff I’am using looks/works great but doesn’t last more then three weeks or so before it fades & needs doing again, your info welcome please? 👍🏻
I can't tell you i'm afraid. I've never tried it.Sorry.
Got to be worth a shot at trying it, surely if it takes & brings the mover plastic up that good! 👍🏻
retrorestore Hi Martin trust your all keeping well, I went ahead & applied the Pledge Revive to my cleaned front lower plastic on my Vw touran & noticed that when it got wet it forms milky cloudy spots which then stay on finish, any idea why that is surely after applying to a floor you can wash with water & not expect this to happen?
Looking great! - By the way, I don't think you've ever shown how you clean your spray paint equipment. That would be an interesting video!
I have done that bud
Hi Martin mower looks great, but a bit off subject but I would like to ask you about the powder coating, I have seen you use the chrome effect powder with colours which gives a great effect, what I would like to ask is, have you used the chrome on its own?, if so how effective does it look? if classic car bumpers etc were powder coated would they look effective? like the original chrome? cheers mate, appreciate you vids.
Yes Fred, I did a meat mincer on my retrohax channel all chrome. You do need to clearcoat the chrome with a clear powder to protect the chrome though to make it hard wearing.
Martin mate !! you're spraying with that naked flame of a gas fire in the back ground !! be careful bud
Don't worry Mike
@@retrorestore I don't know why I'm preaching any way ! I do it myself Martin !!!
just like new
🙂
Cracking job, i'll give Gaz £90 for it?😉👍
Spraying laquer towards a lit heater in an enclosed area ??!!😲😲
Don't let it bother you.
Unbelievable 😂😂
Bob Villa Museum...
Great video Martin. Mower looks superb, that plastic reviver is great stuff and non smear too.
Cheers, Jeff.
Yes Jeff. It dries looking great
Where do you buy the pledge revive it from please????
i got it from Ebay
Great work guys, what brand of clear coat did you use. Great tip with the pledge..
This was a cheap one called Churchill
OOHHH YES!!! Thanks martin will look for some have been looking at some rfu clear coat too. thanks for the reply...
Would the polish work on plastic car bumpers?.
I don't see why not
What’s the difference between a pound and a quid?
its the same thing. A quid is a slang word for pound.
Show room finish guys
Thanks bud
He said shaft 😂
Could you tell me the best place to buy 2k lacquer from
You'll find it on Amazon or Ebay
Thank you
did I spy a French horn on your bench 😅
It's an old trumpet I picked up for a project.
retrorestore It's a trombone isn't it Martin? Give us a choon!
I'd switch it off youl have Boris Johnson complaining about emissions
