dajogejr Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 PM RNBRAD, that guy polishes EVERYTHING...and it looks damn good. He has a thread on here somewhere, do a search...on what he uses to polish different items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNBRAD Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 You can search my threads for "The polishing guide". I don't recommend polishing any other way. Yes there is a lot of ways to skin a cat and I've done most of them but I promise if you do a set of juggs with a dremmel, you'll never do another set that way. It takes money, as with anything, to do the job correctly. You can spend 20+ hours polishing juggs or you can do them in less than half that time and they will look better when done with the right equipment. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
