I see these really nice looking Bodies listed as hand polished.What process are you going about doing it? How do you get up into the crevices without leaving swirls?

i used sand paper, starting with a lower grit and working up, if you use a search, you will find a lot of information on it.

start with like 600 grit sandpaper, work up to like 2000, then buff. :-)

Well I...

1)Buff it on a light grit wheel
2) clean it off an stick it into an electropolisher
3) Electropolish 2-3 times for 8-10 minutes
4) then hose it off
5) Next I apply some mothers polish and take it to a fabric wheel to buff it and turn the thing into a mirror.

All this is done in a machine shop which I have access to, If you'd like I can do this for 20 shipped for ya.

Mag bodies are stainless steel. They won't rust.
