i like the polished raw grands. I did the same to mine last weekend.

You realise of course that the way to avoid all those fingerprints is to ask Nerak nicely for one of her cool covers to keep it in. Then the only time it gets covered in prints is when you hand it to jealous people to drool and fawn over ;)

love the polished. did you sand and then use poilish? after polishing my door, i decided to leave the rest a little rough just so i could avoid the fingerprint problem. but then i got one of the covers that trunker mentioned, so i might get around to finishing it.

800-1000-1500 grit then mothers polish for about 25 min's over it all. I boo boo'd and polished the back w/ 400 grit on accident and it took a bit of work to get all the deep scratches out. Theres still a few minor ones I'll get later but over all its pretty damn smooth and nice. Not only does it look good it feels good being all polished.

i just used the mother's mag polish on an old t-shirt about 3 times - then i got bored and went out! I left the door original to see how different it would look and it's rather impressive.

I was always doubtful about the raw finish because it's been so easy to scratch, so polishing it seems to be the best thing for it and this particular grand has always lived in a cover for that reason.

Sterno got his leather from Serenity gear but they no longer make them for Reos! Pity.

NOOOOO!!!!!!!!.....I'll source a local DFW leather maker to make me one:D It will probably cost a bit but its worth it for this gem!

Drifter should get one modeled after Samuel L Jackson's Pulp Fiction "Bad Mother(censored)" wallet. That would be epic.
