enjoy the polishing, stripped it down with a few photos so can maybe get it back the same without spare bits. used the power file with a gentle belt to remove a lot of the casting marks.

cheers fellas,
dam sight slower than your builds zakboy, seem to allways be waiting for stuff, that's why i do a bit of polishing in between.
polishing was a case of buying a few 8inch mops, learned theres hard n soft and wax for each one. got some of the big scotchbrite type mops which are great for cleaning and getting bits of paint off. some abrasive ones for the drill which take deep scratches out. self taught really. 8 inch grinder on a pedestal, main fault is i mounted it close to the wall to save space and it gets awkward when doing bigger stuff. once saw a clip on American hotrod where they polished some wheels in a rush, the guy put an immense amount of pressure on it which i tried and it worked. grinder gets a bit warm tho. know theres guys on here that are in the know with professional polishing.
