I got all the home made stainless parts polished (damaged and undamaged), I did three stages of polishing in all but never went to full final polish as I have learnt that it is a waste of time, the first time someone rubs an admiring finger across the surface it leaves fine scratch marks, plus there is the inevitability of stone chips, road dust, low lying animals and flies that commit suicide on the surfaces and discarded sandwiches thrown from car windows etc., but I am happy with the results,

the parts with raised additions have had the raised parts 'brush' finished by use of a drum sander in a drill, before that can be done all the areas that need protection are covered with a minimum of five layers of masking tape, a sander will cut through quite quickly and ruin the job if not adequately protected,

once all the parts were acceptable I removed the tape and gave everything a wax job

 

all items final polished,
