yea- i got done, shotgunned a couple beers and said the tips can wait till tomorrow- i'll end up pulling them off and taking them inside for a good 'workout' they're an absolute disaster---i think they will be 'brushed' stainless steel as opposed to 'mirror'

My old job foreman used to rebuild old vehicles. He had a table grinder with a polishing wheel on it, and with some polishing rouge, he could polish anything stainless steel to a mirror finish. I welded up a stainless battery box for him, regular flat 16GA or so stainless steel sheet, he made it look like a mirror. I was stunned.

You can do it!
