To polish the ali I start off with fine wire wool to get out the major scratches then use a 6" buffing mop, coated with fine ploish wax, in the lathe. It gets very hot and my hands get very black but the result is worthwhile. I still need to polish the end caps but will do that when all the machining is finished.

Ah, okay. I'll give that a try when I get there. Thanks very much.
