That fork thingy

Postby SvingenB » Fri May 15, 2015 5:56 am

I'm well into polishing now, but need something better to "clean" the hoods than the wrench I'm using (scraping off surplus "wax"). I have seen on the video that a special tool is used, but what is it, what does it look like, what is it called? Does anyone have a picture?

Thanks

It's a tool derived from a spur (you know the kind American Cowboys wear on their boots):
