Hi Gary,
I use kerosene and 800 grit wet/dry sand paper for the shiny items then run them
over the polishing wheel. The 800 leaves it with a hazy shine and the buffer
brings it to a mirror finish. If there are imperfections that you wish to take
out, start with a coarser grade of paper and work your way up to the 800. Not
for use on electrical goodies of course.
For rough finish items, a brass tooth brush and kerosene works nicely.
Harbor Freights sells a 3/4 hp buffer for under $100 and the buffs and polishing
compound I get from Eastwood. Using a buffer is quite an easy job though
somewhat messy.
Best regards,
Fred Schroeder
