Hello Reonauts!
Since I'm now obsessed with my Reos, I decided to try and get a mirror polish on the tumbled door of my Mini. First I tried applying Mothers Mag with a cotton cloth, after 10 min I'm not really seeing a difference. Then I tried sanding with 600 grit then 1000 grit followed by a cloth polishing wheel on a dremel, again with Mothers. Tiny bit shinier after 10 min but not really very visible, you gotta look really really close to be able to tell.
Looked up a bunch of posts and videos on youtube and nothing I saw tells me that I need to spend ages polishing this. Pretty much everyone seems to get a very noticeable improvement after what looks to be a short time. Anyone have any ideas how I should do this?
Also, it says on the bottle of Mothers that the cream should turn dark when applied. Mine stayed the same light color throughout. So it occurs to me that maybe I don't have a tumbled door. Can someone confirm what finish this door is? Its off a mini bought in 2012.
TIA
