Pruned my oriental pom pom topiary today. It was way overdue. I use a pair of razor sharp hand held hedge shears. Not very hard to do at all. I put a piece of shade cloth underneath to catch the clippings - which makes for a very quick and easy cleanup.

You, of all people, don't need a kit. It's all done with the usual car polishing stuff. The final coat can be an acrylic or ceramic wipe on — wipe off.

I've found that a layer of clear coat (paint) keeps them from deteriorating back to crappy so fast.

I wondered if they were replacements, but didn’t want to say anything.
