Bought a polished juliet today that needed some polishing!

[CrazyALee]

Today I acquired my first ever hammerstem juliet. In total I have (3) x-metals. 2 juliets and 1 madman. My other juliet is a x-metal/ruby iridium combo.

Anyway the condition the polished came in I'd say 7/10. Flex coupler is quite loose and floppy. Frame had scratches/scuffs. Lens are 7/10, mostly peelign around edges along with some scratches here n there. Rubgbers are okay.

So I searched on this forum wahts a good way to polish, someone recommended Blue magic metal polish and a dremel with felt, and so I did just that... See end results!

First 3 pics are "before" and then you'll see the process.....I applied the stuff 3 times and end product with everythign installed. Not a drastic difference and sorry I had bad lighting

Now just need to bring to HQ to get flex coupler refreshed and some new rubbers.....maybe do that tomorrow.

Good job on the polish. There's something special about doing things your self.

Great job on the polish. I bought a pair of OCP polished juliets from my O store, and the finish looked very similar to yours. The flex coupler was also a bit looser than I was used to with my Carbon pairs. Not sure if that was just the way they made the polished frames or what. And yes, hammerstems are awesome on the Juliet. I just wonder why only the polished frames got them.

Thank you! you said the finish was similar to mine, similar to how it was before or after my polishing? lol

I got the flex coupler retuned at HQ, however it still feels a bit looser than my other pair, which is a xmetal/ruby generic sku one. Specificially, it feels like it has more play or the tabs from the orbitals may be rounded off or something

Sorry, meant the before pic looks similar, and I think my polished Half-X also has a similar finish to the before shot. The after looks so bright though. Congrats, looks great.
