A dremel tool is a a polish nut's best friend. Then you step up in to dedicated polishing equipment.

My fav is a buffer with a scotchbrite wheel. Cleans, deburs and leaves a nice finish for the sisal wheel & black compound to start a real polish job. Find some knifemaker's green compound to end on a cotton or muslin buff and you'll never hand polish again...

did you do the whole job with the compound or start out with sandpaper?

All I'm saying is: 80-220-600-1000........ w/H2O

For protection/luster/all around good coating go with clear powder coat! Just make sure the powder coater masks off the critical areas! ie. where the fork tubes slide through the tree!

Here is a picture of a clear powder coated surface. If you inspect it closely you can see orange peel but it also retains the original appearance.

Excellent! Adds about .005" total, I believe it is just as durable as a traditional powder coated surface.
