It does tend to rust though after its been polished, I know mine does. If I keep after it then I can keep the rust off though.

done with 80/120/180/220/320 then buffed with tripoli and white rouge:

Not the best pic, but illustrates the clarity and mirror-like quality which is, IMO, the point of polishing metal.

And it took you two days to come up with that!?!? Did it take that long for you to find your "idiot's guide to ball busting?"

guys, nother question... after polishing stuff that might rust if you don't keep up with it... what if you hit it with some of that wheel coating stuff?? would that keep it from doing that...

and the dude that polished his head lights... YEAHOH95 i think... could you pm me about how to do that plz... i tried mothers by hand, but no luck...
