Final polish

<< < (2/2)

bogstandard:
There are some very good tips in the very early sections on HMEM. A lot of people just ask the same question over and over again, and don't bother to search thru the old files.

You have most probably seen these pics over there, but they do explain about the finish required and the final bit about polishing.

This first one shows the finish to the metal BEFORE it is taken anywhere near a buffing machine. The buffing is only for giving a final sheen, all the hard work is done by hand well before. I find that the very finest scotchbrite pads, followed by superfine carpenters wire wool gives the finish I want before buffing. That is after you have been thru all the grades of wet&dry.



This one shows that ali can be brought up to a mirror finish. This was before the final treatment with furniture polish. After that, it becomes rather difficult to photgraph because of all the reflections.
