well I read a few things I found online, but they were mainly cf hoods etc and they just lightly wet sanded and buffed em back out. As you can see this was way beyond and light anything lol. So I basicly just started sanding on it with 150 grit. After I got a small area sanded off, I simplely wet it to see what it looked like. It looked like night and day, so I continued sanding til it was all done. I am one of those 'you never know until you try' people, lol.

Look good, but clean up that end cap and tip. I nice little wire wheel and chrome polish will do the trick.

How did you fill the holes for the rivets that held the D&D tag on?
