Power tools?
I got all the way through to using the tripoli compound before deciding to start over. It was starting to become obvious that it wasn't going to get that mirror finish. I had started with 150 grit so I took it one step up with 100 grit. Got rid of a lot more scratches that were present on my first attempt but I did this one totally by hand, no sanding discs on a drill. It's better but it is still not quite as shiny as Syco's job is in the polishing tutorial. He mentions using an orbital grinder with a sanding disc and a palm sander but the gas tank has recessed, concave areas that I can't quite get a 4" sanding disc into (besides, it was the reason for having scratches) and the palm sander won't work either, it's flat. I am doing the sanding part totally by hand, is there any other way to do this other than by hand or is this where patience, endurance and lots of elbow grease come into play?[img][/img]
