   I'd definitely be interested in knowing the answer to that one too, NJC. When I moved to the US from the UK, apart from finding a supplier of nitrocellulose type finishes-- I settled on ML Campbell for most of my polishes of that type, I've never found anyone that supplies pullover in the nine years I've lived in the US-- not even ML Campbell. It was a common or garden item supplied by equivalent polish makers in the UK..

   I haven't seen the article you refer to, not being an FW reader, but I assume by 'pullover' you mean the stuff you pour into a french polisher's type rubber (No. 1 polishers cloth and a gob of cotton wool in the middle as a reservoir) and swiped very lightly over a final spraying of cured pre-catalysed lacquer, nitrocellulose lacquer, etc., to remove any small signs of orange peel, and other slight imperfections.

   Pullover to me is a very mild form of solvent that barely dissolves the top few  molecules of polish letting you correct minor flaws such as the ones I described. Correct me if I'm barking entirely up the wrong tree. Slainte.

   Some stuff I've made.
