Im trying to figure out how i can get a photo on this thread. im havin a hard time finding a url to put it on to. anyway i have been using regular water to, im also in cali so ill try some distlled next time. as far as soap, i use Dawn and HOT water. i read in another thread that when you sand wet you can include some sort of polish in the water. I'm thinking of the stuff you can use like commet for tubs but its for pots and pans like copper or stainles steal. good idea or bad?[/img]

yep same cover you have ... and a paint to polish ... i conversed with lance and from what i got the best way to do these cover's are to nickle plate them ... but i got a great shine then when i washed it down it look's bad ... good luck on your cover

I dunno about using anything but water or kerosene as a lubricant when you wet sand. I used to use this cleanser like stuff called Cameo to "polish" copper pans when I worked in a restaurant. Dunno how it'd work on aluminum or other metals.

OK, I think i have been able to rid the cloudyness, when I go to white.
Ill post a second pic in the album section under dgc187. I still have to do the frame. Ill post those pics as soon as I have it ready. Thanks everyone!
