i didnt want a mirror finish, this is more of a brushed finish which is easier to achieve by hand polishing instead of machine polishing

mark, were they polished up with a bench grinder/polisher or attachments that go into a drill :idiot2:

markyp:
no mate,i did it all by hand,i just worked thru the wet and dry grades then finished with autosol.its an absolute peice of pesh,you cant go wrong,as soon as the wet and dry hits it it starts to look better instantly,if i can do it then anybody can :daumenhoch:

Gish:
i have already rubbed them down with wet and dry (took about 4hrs to do :-\)

just ready to polish now just hope i can get that mirror finish ::)
