Rick's the master of shiny things, do you remember this Tony:
Ever since I posted my DID review (which features the polished P+18500 I used to own), I've been getting quite a few PMs regarding buffing and polishing SS mods, so I put together this guide that I've been sending as replies, so I guess I'll post it here for everyone to have access to. It's not much, though it's more than enough to get started. If you really want to get into polishing/refinishing ss mods, I highly suggest going on youtube and watching videos of professionals at work and then refining your cutting/polishing techniques with practice.
You're going to need a drill and something to clamp it down with, but I'm assuming you have those two things, so I won't send links.

Ok, so I usually buff my mods in 2 (sometimes 3) stages. I start with the spiral sewn cotton wheels with jewler's rouge (red compound) for the initial refinish (to get an scratches out or to strip a media blasted finish), and then I use the canton flannel wheels with white compound for the final mirror finish. I suggest you go on youtube and look up buffing instructional videos, as they'll show you how much and how often to apply the compound, cutting/wiping techniques, and everything else you'll need to know.
It been 4 months and my Did has many scars. What should I use to get the looking like Ginger Lynn again.
