Yep, afraid so . . . start preparing with 600 or 800 wet'n'dry (in soapy water) finishing off with a sheet of 1000 or 2000

Here's a stem I did some time ago . . .

that is a nice stem looks better silver than in white how long did it take to get that finish  :daumenhoch:

Rombloke:
i do all my polishing by hand (oo er missus)

then final buff on the pillar drill with a polishing mop in it.







never rush the prep work if you want a good job...work your way thru the grits on wet and dry and the soapy water is a good tip....

good luck

Dave

Not long really . . . that stem had been painted with spray paint which came off real easy with Nitromors


I do all my polishing by hand too and in most cases I don't use a mop . . . just good old Autosol on a soft cloth

Here's a Pro Neck I've not long finished too . . .
