Kawaii Finish

[Isaac OLEG]

Polyester repair, you have to be careful, but it is not very
difficult, you will need some good polyester with a special black dye,
sanding blocks, and a buffing machine that you can use with paste, and
cotton wheels.

It is a very dirty work, a lot of dust will go everywhere in the place
when buffing. If the surface damaged is not too large you can rub it
with a felted block hand held.

You may train yourself first, or ask someone specialized in these
jobs, or replace the lid if too much damaged.

Regards.
