I can imagine the TLC needed to work on such old paint. The outcome is A1.
I would also like to know more about your problems working with the Souveran paste. Congrats on a job well done.

Can't really say the grout sponge is fminus idea. Spoiledman got everyone into it.

Amazingly done. You've read that paint well by going just KAIO and Souveran. Good call!
