keep sanding the crap out of it... then sand some more.. go all the way to 2000 grit progressively. then flitz it.

flitz? is that that stuff off tv? yea ive been sanding the crap out of it. i went ahead and used the polish my dremel kit came with and it came out real nice. but i found more pitting, so im gonna sand some more. are there any good polishes that i can pick up locally?

First, take it apart.

Second, get a real polisher - like a 3/4 hp buff motor with a good cotton wheel and some decent polish.

Third, grind away some of the casting to make those areas a bit easier to get too.

Or just take it apart and have the base powdercoated along with everything else. It's easy.

to get that shine your talking about, work towards a 2000grit paper. go like 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000. and sand away. the more time you sand, the shinier it will be. and use polish too while you do it. the longer you spend doing it, the better it will come out. :thumb:

lots of time and it's all about the sanding.
