Thanks nerak. Sad to hear he lost money bringing them to market. Very unfortunate as they sure are pretty.

is any dissassembly required prior to polishing?
i'm still sulking about missing the mini in the classies and i see a "tumbled raw aluminum" grand at reosmods. i fondle my existing REOs enough, that polishing one doesn't seem that big a stretch

No taking it apart is needed. Just work around the button and connector. Della Cirque did a couple. The last one was a tumbled mini she got from me. Perfect mirror finish! The tumbled raw is what you need. Don't get one with a clear coat to polish!
Agree 100%... my first Grand is an anodized black/silver... it gets a little slimy/slippery if I hold on to it for too long. My hammertone silver/black wrinkle Grand has yet to exhibit that issue. Just a little texture goes a long way.
Lookin good DW!
I'm workin on Mother's-shine as well ...but it looks like your're a little further along!
(gotta take a less blurry pic!)
Here, let me put her down and take a current picture for you
Nice! Is Silver Anodized the same as what some refer to as "clear-coat tumbled"?
Nope.
Clear Coat Tumbled
Silver Anodized
To be fair...the Silver anodized still can fainlty show the tumbling...but the clear coat is crystal....and it almost deepens the visual effect of the tumbled surface.
RF, how can you tell the difference between clear coated tumbled and non coated tumbled? Or are all tumbled REOs clear coated?
AWESOME that is exactly what I was hoping the tumbled clearcoat would look like! Thanks for posting!
Now I just need to BEG Rob to make more!

The non coated is RAW aluminum aluminum it polishes well or looks rugged as it comes.
Here's a before and after:
Oh absolutely....let me grab another photo or two. This is an old tumbled mini.
Perhaps, photos won't do the difference justice...The tumbled's surface changes all the time with use....it polishes with use and scratches easily...but the clear coat has an even, consistent look to it, while remaining shiney. It looks more "finished."
Here is a photo of both, though...not sure it's going to support my claim.
Tumbled mini on the left, clear coat tumbled VVG on the right.
Gotcha, Thanks!
I am thinking the tumbled I just got must be coated then.. it's got a real smooth finish, doesn't "feel" like bare metal. I like it, a lot

Now that I have seen these photos, I know for sure that I have a silver anodized VVG (just like Rob told when I bought it).
I apologize if I confused anyone with calling it clear anodized.
Just like Lisa said, grain is faintly visible on the mod. It looks absolutely beast.
Everyone should own atleast 1. Good present to yourself for quitting smoking

Actually, Russ...I have a photo for that too. Someone was asking what the difference was between tumbled and silver anodized.

No...it's much more durable. But even if it scratches...it's a lot harder to see. I haven't scratched mine yet and I've had it for a few months....but I could be wrong and just haven't found it yet. It doesn't appear to be scratched.

I love my silver anodized but am wondering if I will want a Clear coat in the future but the colors look really similar to me.
