Hands are washed lol. Sandpaper grit starts at 220-2000. I used mothers polish for those particular pieces. Next thing I polished I'm going to try Surf City polish. And it takes forever to polish I lose track of time

Great job. Isn't it a major pain in the ***? But definitely worth it in the end.

Thanks. It is a pain because no matter how many times you do it you want it shinier each time. So it always takes a boatload of time to get it right
