Re: Brushed stainless finish

[jtrealty@xxxx]

Use #120 grit (or #80 grit if you're brave) with a sanding block and 
very carefuly sand in the direction of the grain. Don't concentrate on 
just one spot, you have to do an area or a whole panel. Use a piece of 
masking tape to guide if needed. After you are satisfied (looking at 
the surface from several angles) then you can finish with a blending 
pad. Use the ones from a Delorean supplier as they are rougher than 
what you can obtain locally. When you are done you will probably go 
from panel to panel all the way around the car to make everything look 
even and "good as new".

It's almost as good as new.

the grain, but to no help. I mean, how long are you supposed to use 
the scotchbrite before seeing any result?
