I already have some polishing compound (green) and some soft coton-like wheels, I guess this is what you're referring to?
I gave it a (real) quick try and wasn't impressed with the results - I take it I need to sand the pieces a bit beforehand;
But a question using the Dremel to polish: A what speed do you use the polishing wheels? It didn't look like slow speed was doing anything and higher speeds were just disintegrating the wheels;
Maybe I can give it another try, or I'll just go with hand sanding as Trev suggested;
I might just do the "mechanical" parts (slide contact and what not) and leave the frame as is
Thanks
