Happy Thanksgiving.
Recently, I bought a Miele Bolero for a good price. Its former owners were slightly confused: I assume that they thought it was a garbage disposal. I am basing my opinion on the clog I pulled out of the machine that ran from the base of the machine to the end of the hose handle. Yes, a clog the entire length of the hose. The clog was caused by two pencils that were lodged in the works. After a good laugh, a thorough cleaning and a new belt (I assume that the belt was damaged when the Miele met said pencils) the Bolero cleans like new. I want to Vacuum Cleaner Headquarters, a Miele dealer in my area and found out that I am the first person they ever sold an S-7 belt to. I love this vacuum. The housings however, have scratches on them. Is there a way to wet sand the scratches and buff them out? I suppose I could live with them but I would rather have it appear shiny and new. Any information is greatly appreciated. | ||

I have the read one, I'll see if I can post some pics of how we do it later, You will need a orbital sander , very fine grit sandpaper 350 grit all the way to 1000 grit and a buffing wheel on a drill or straight dye grinder hooked to a compresor.
very similar to buffing up a Kirby if you have ever done that? you just have to be a bit more gentle
