First off i shaped the end of a wooden stick so i could push out the dents in the pattern, that and hand pressure and patience got it as close to new again.
Placed in the cat litter tray and with a toothbrush i liberally applied a baking soda and vinegar mix and let it sit for the afternoon. All the bits of old green polish lifted out of the valleys in the mold and it cleaned up a treat. I just washed it off with tap water and buffed with a cloth.
The back plate i lightly sanded and painted with a thinned mix of hammerite to keep the character and the dial just needed a light wash in soapy water as it was not stained.
