Jewellers Rouge

Well, the Fuch polishing project continues...

I've sanded and removed all of the anodization. When I use the aluminum polish, I can get them to a mirror finish, but I have to use sustained polishing over each area which is both time consuming and expensive on the massage therapy afterwards.

I bought a couple of buffing wheels for my drill to see if this helps speed up/ease up the process.

Question is, has anyone tried using the buffing wheels and jewellers rouge for the final polishing? If so, what were your experiences?

Also, as opposed to hand sanding, (still haven't tried the oven cleaner), has anyone used drills to sand with? I tried the dremel, but this seems to bite too much and covers a very small area, plus, they don't make the sanding accessories in high enough grits.

So to sum up the questions;

1. Jewellers Rouge
2. Sanding with a drill and round sanding pad.

Opinions? Thoughts?

Thanks again
Jim
