Thanks!

You're only a few hours from me. I'm out of town working until the end of the month but I'll offer the use of my blasting cabinet when I get back home.

That would be ideal but I don't have access to a blasting cabinet. I haven't been able to find anybody around here willing to do it either. I hope to buy one some day. They aren't that expensive but a proper air compressor sure is.

You'll LUV these... Mostly only required the orange, then the blue for fine stuff...

I've been getting mine at ACE Hardware stores... Home Depot, Lowes and Harbor Fright carry the orange ones but ACE seems to usually have the 3....

This is what I use on the engine cases as well, seriously... Well that and some Simple Green....

All buffing was done with the drill :pinch: ... Did it work well obviously but I should have bought the buffer (Cheap bastard I am)....

Once completed, just some Never dull, mothers etc.... every month or so and she'll stay nice and shiny. No serious buffing required, wipe on/off is all I do...

Post them Pre & Post images...

I finally ordered these last night. I think they'll help to get a nice, uniform finish that will help the polishing process.

Get off your ass old man (me too... :blush: )...

Seriously, one after noon and that swing-arm would look like a mirror...
