One more thing...

Kyle,

What is the model of the hand polisher? I see that it is a Milwaukee. Where did you purchase it? What are the attachments you use with it?

Thanks!

Thanks

Kyle,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Your process is much like mine, with the exception of the polisher you use. I will try and find one. Thanks again Kyle and keep up the great work.

Jim

Thanks so much Jim!

Preview for this week

You mentioned not having a bench polisher to see the results or method, there's actually a video from VacLab where he shows how to shine up a Kirby G3. I do not know about the scratch removal method but I bet if one was to combine your methods, Kyle, for the hard sanding and polishing, and then use VacLab's methods for the final polish-up on the machine - I bet it will work out really nice. Dremel also has tiny polishing kits that will be useful for getting into hard to reach areas and little fine detailing.

Question!

Kyle,

Is the 505 emptor in the background of the picture an early Painted one? These are rare.
