get a 12 inch buff wheel on a 1hp motor and some white polishing compound. wear gloves cause that bugger gets hot! you can get some impressive results in about an hour.

I think the best way is to take them to the polisher. Then to keep them up just buy a tube of wenol and touch them up every once in a while. For the cases, I think I used a combination of mothers and #0000 steel wool and they look great.


Have fun.
