hehe, reminds me of a couple months back when I was buffing the clutch cover on the ol' Banshee...

Sanding, sanding and more sanding is the key... Gotta get that thing absolutely smooth and scratch free before the 1st wheel ever hits it. Your part looks good for a 1st timer

This whole polishing thing is nothing but practice, practice and more practice. There's no "secret" and no "magic". It comes down to procedure, technique and most importantly, preparation.. This board and it's participants can help with everything but the practice. :)
