I love my borrowed buffing machine.

2.5 hours, several ascending sandpaper grits and a couple of different buffing compounds later leads to this. Not perfect, bu fairly blingy.

Good work. I too find polishing satisfying . Did mine by hand. Now unrecognisable

Fine Grizzly, but probably very illegal to keep one in the house (south of Alaska) :O)
That machine looks like it's built to withstand a couple of atomic wars. Nice.
Am also highly enjoying polishing, results always makes one feel the world is not such a bad place after all :O)

Great work fellas.
That's something I haven't set up yet, a polishing booth and buff.
I know it's hard work but very satisfying. I used to polish all the bits for the club trophy's. It took me a few months to do all the alloy on an A65.
