True that. It sucks. It takes alot of sanding, because it's cast. I started with 120 grit, then 220, 300, 400, and 600. Then I used steel wool. Started with #2, then #0, #00, #000, #0000. Then you can bring it to the buffing wheel. I used the Dremel tool first, in all of the corners, and hard to reach spots. The big areas, I did with the bench polisher. I use stainless compound.
