The oem finish is not really a "polished look" ... its a "horizontal brushed look", thats why I needed something with grit to cause micro etching/scratching. Believe I could buy some sanding platforms to do something like this, but it would cost some bucks. Always open to suggestions. If you can improve the process then the forum members will appreciate it. Smile
