OK i'm poloshing a mag body for a friend, i just did mine and it almost has a mirror shine! My friends i've been trying to polish to no avail. I swear i sand that thing up good and the shine barely changes! Now i'm wondering if the older style bodies were made differently, cuz i have a feeling my friends mag body s/f is an old one by the way it looks. Also on the feed its got 2 cicles really close indented into it, whats that??? Well Tom or whoever let me know soon!

Wicked i'm sorry this has nothing to do with your problem but how do you polish a mag?:confused:

[magman007]

Boss- you use sandpaper! you start off with a course gran and you work your way down to a really fine grain until you get your desired finish!

Wicked- did you try using a finer grain on your friends? also grab some pollish and pollish that baby up!

Maybe try some buffing compound, I used a combination of sandpapers and different wheels on a Dremel with some buffing compound, then finished with a polish made by Snap-On.

With a good buffing wheel, and differnt levels of buffing compound you should be able to get it looking almost like chrome. Sandpaper must be of extremely fine grit, and then a final wet sanding might give you results close to this. I've polished aluminum, and SS parts on cars with the buffing method, but have only wet sanded painted parts.
