HUTCHMAN:
nice stems...PERSONALLY preffered them as they were,but the outcome still looks good anyway.  :daumenhoch:

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
I have a few of these and wanted a polished one

they will be for sale soon - left raw so the buyer can choose to polish or not  ;)



it take time and practice with polishing - the more you try the better it gets

GTnumber1:
dont use dremels they are dog shit  :)

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
dremel are good for getting inside bolt heads - very small stuff and cutting

multy speed and wear goggles as stuff flicks off as you take a close look


and forgot to say about mop polishing on bench grinders - place a soft mat under the grinder ~ stuff will fly off or drop down, and a fresh polished item look shite with a concreat mark from a drop

gloves - thick leather glove will take out some of the heat if you are grind polishing down and the item heats up - the item can get pretty hot pretty darn quick and burn  :shocked:

Deano:
I only go to 2000 grit on alloy wheels and use 2 stages of mop. i guess everyone has there way and you will find yours like B says the more you do the better you get. Also different metals polish up to different shades.

Im no pro i just dabble. Only just got air tools and full kit so should get better results soon.
