After "rust removal" with a wirebrush, there is no rust (duh), but the surface is dark colored instead of shiny. It is smooth to touch, but does not have the original reflective appearance. My question is how can I restore it, is it as difficult as restoration of virginity, or doable? Any polishing wheels that can accomplish that? I would prefer something that can go on an angle grinder. I like these (top two items): http://www.kbctools.com/can/Navigati...fm?PDFPage=599 Michael Koblic, Campbell River, BC |
