Well it used to look like this

And after some serious elbow work, got it like this

Now that took me 2hrs and I reckon to get it with a mirror finish I'd need another week LOL

Kudos to those guys that polish their metal bits to a mirror finish, wish I had that patience Smile

Looking good mate, if you want to speed up the polishing a bit buy one of these CLICK ME?

After the initial sand down give the parts a run over with this in a drill and it'll give them a mat finish, then go over it with some autosol metal polish, will start to come up to a shine after a bit :thumbup1:

Had a stab at the PS today, top came up like a mirror but didn't touch the sides, would really need to take it off.

Also hit one of the hit shields, which came up not to bad but I think it would really need chromed to be any good.

Must stop this!
