Jaxtoy,

I don't have the time to polish them but I can help you if you want to do it yourself. It's not all that hard, just time consuming.

Gator,

LMAO!!

Tim

It's really simple. I started out with 100 grit wet. Sand it as smooth as you can get it, next go to 180 grit wet, then 320 grit wet, then 1200 grit wet, then 2000 grit wet. At this point you could almost polish it by hand with Mother's polish but use a high speed buffer. You're done.

For something simple like that C&L pipe........try just using your hands

I remember the OLD days when I was using sandpaper to smooth metal.
Glad those days and my knowledge of polishing has changed.
Make the tools do the work

Hey Tim, did your pipe have any "pits" in the metal after you were done?
