Polished Frames

haha sounds like its time to PM Dann... and holy crap Oakley-oholic... that is a NICE polishing job there.. you've made the surface perfect! its cleaner than factory polish!

Thanks BriP. It's my OCD showing up. I have been working on re-polishing some hammer stems to that quality and not much success. I think the older X-Metals may be a bit more porous. Its on the back burner now but if I can't get them perfect I think the X-Man can, just not sure what finish I would pick.
 
Dremel with foam sanding drum to cut off the plasma finish and remove casting marks/pits and then sanding with 220, 400, then 1200 sandpaper. Then using a felt drum with polishing compound and a Dremel to buff off the fine scratches then polishing with Mothers Metal Polish.

I've repeated the process about three times already since I keep finding stuff to fix. It's still a work in progress. Kinda stopped since the new maps for BF3 came out recently.
