Default RE: McCoy 35

Heh, dagnabit injun giver!

delman: I used a combination of things. An 8" wheel buffing machine was used first to get the major areas. What it could not reach, I used a Dremel with pointed, and round buffs. I used an aggressive buffing compound, followed by some Tripoli compound, and finally with some liquid polish. Then I decided to put all the parts into my ultrasonic cleaner to get the left over buffing compound out of the nooks and crannies. That completely ruined the polishing job because the UC soap dulled all the aluminum. I did not know it would do that. I have since written BIG letters on the bottle of UC suds: NO ALUMINUM!!

So I had to re-buff the whole dang thing a second time. [:@]
