When I do something, it usually looks like I did it myself. I would like to posish my 98 bolts. How do I do this? can I do any harm? It looks as if I could just past them with jewlers rouge amd hit them with the dremmel. Help please, capt david

Ive used plain old Mothers mag wheel polish in the little can and a old cotton sock. The white cream stuff. Blue magic would work too.

Simple, easy and polishes great by hand. No electric buffing wheel that could round corners or remove metal. Dont use it on blued parts unless tou want to polish the blueing off.

Use either a long, flat fine grit polishing stone (best) or a piece of good fine grit sandpaper lubed with a little mineral spirits and backed by something hard and flat (2cd best).

But stay way from the dremel tool and polishing wheel. It will inadvertently round off all the sharp corners and leave little dips and dives in the surface of the metal and look worse than if you did it yourself. Stick to hard flat polishing tools and you will be fine.

The honorable mention here echoes GSP7: I like to take fine steel wool and some Flitz and polish to a nice clean sheen. This takes very little metal off and will not polish out pits, but they sure do look nice when I'm done.

I don't have any pits or anything it just looks kind of 'grungy.' capt david
