a98pmalcolm Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks guys. Well its all done by hand. The hard part is to get the dents and grooves out. I used a cork sanding block and a VERY coarse sand paper. Once its all out 10 mins work with 240 wet and dry. Same again with 800 then 1200 then 1500. Then use the maguires metal polish. Really is simple. Just hard work :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Nice job but get yourself one of these or a small electric grinder I use this small air tool and saves all the hard work and time, lots of different grade abrasive pads available etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
