Tools and Materials

To clean my rolling mill I used:
* chrome clearner from my local car suppliers shop (Halfords for those of you UK based)
* a piece of paper towlel to apply the chrome cleaner
* very fine wet and dry emery paper (1200 grade)
* cleaning cloth
* wooden dowel slightly shorter than the width of your rollers
