| Verdict??   This was done by hand as kinda a test to see how it would turn out. Since it looks pretty good im going to take the dremel and polishing wheels to it. Of course it's going to be hard to get the rest of it unless I take the rails off, which I might just end up doing. | |

| I'll need to give mine a good bath when I get back from vacation. This will most definitely be included in the process. | |

| Took it alittle bit further:  This is still by hand. I actually kinda like leaving parts of it unpolished. | |

I dont know what kind of rag he used but I can tell you that for me the best rag for bringing out the shine with compounds is plain whiteTerry cloth rags. | |

| I actually used a ripped up pair of old boxers  However I have had great results using plain white terry cloth rags when polishing other metals. I'm going to end up grabbing a set of polishing wheels for the dremel to get them tight spots. | |
