 you are going to have to sand down with wet n dry first to get through all the pitting so get a smooth finish, which could also make the logo go faint, unless you are going to powder coat it its the only way to get a decent finish...

start with 400's preferably on a block because its a flat surface,use soapy water, then finish on 1000's or 1200 (very soft wet n dry)

Sam, to say that I'm gutted is an understatement, I blame Robert Green, If he wasn't so shite I wouldn'd have drowned my sorrows and this would never have happened  ;D

pickle:
out of interest, did you leave it in the bag for any length of time?  i always tend to plonk my bits in and massage the stuff over the bits till all the anno has come off......then quickly rinse it all off.

you do get bits of blackening but that always rubs off with a quick polish.

just wondered if you left it in too long?  ???

You could say i left it in a bit too long, had a hangover and fell asleep in the sun, all in it was in the bag bout 4 hours  :uglystupid2:

ozone:
400 grit wet and dry aint gonna remove the spanner and hammer marks (they look like hammer marks on the side of the base to me anyway.  :-\ )  A light file followed by some 180 grit wet and dry will remove them, then move on to the 400s and lower. 

It will come up lovely with a bit of work. :daumenhoch:

Jamroll:
Spanner and Hammer marks were on it before i got my paws on the blighter,
I've given it a light rub with 1200 grade and it already looks a bit better  :) I'll have a proper crack at it tonight.
I've spoke to and engraver also who said he could deepen the Pro-Neck lettering also for me .
I'm sooo fooking relieved  :D
