6" 3m radial 50 grit (green) disk -- these are actually made for jewelers, but work amazing on any type of soft metal, then 220 silicon carbide sandpaper on an orbital to smooth everything out, then the 3m disk again, then dremel everything out with a 180 grit abrassive disk, hand polish with 400-800-1000then polish with bench buffer and hard metal compound, then soft metal compound, then stick it in the parts washer to get off all the shavings and polish it with a white rouge and viola... mirror finish
