Can someone tell me how to? Sorry if this is the wrong area to post this. This is my first post on this forum. Thank you for looking :) * Edited by Staff to clarify topic title.

But you need to know it will change the surface in that it will make it dull looking and may even change the color. Report this Post to the Staff
