Complete newbie, HELP!

[Taipan]

Hi
Great forum.
I want to start polishing up old filing cabinets, steel ammo boxes, old steel theatre lights etc but have no idea where to start or what I need (equipment wise).
I have a steel chest at the shot blasters now and they are going to low pressure blast it to get rid of the paint and rust. What would you recommend I start with? I dont want a mirror shine just a sheen on steel really. Obviously some items are large so I was thinking of an angle grinder/ polisher but have no idea about mops and compounds.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Taipan

I would try Scotch Brite pads on a power polisher.

You are going to have to coat them with something or they will rust.

A MESSAGE TO ALL POSTERS: It would help if you put your town and country so that it shows when you post. For instance, down here any uncoated steel rusts overnight, while in California I have sheets of steel in my shop that have been there for years and still don't have any rust on them.
