Making things Shiny

I bought this cool Power Steering tank on Ebay
but it looked a little dull

So with some guidance and direction from Dr. Craig

I started the wet sanding process. First with 400, then 600, then 800, then 1000 grit

The result is still a bit dull

Then the polishing started, it is actually surprising how fast it polishes up with the right compound (thanks again Craig)

The shiny result

So from this to this in about 3 hours
