Ive sanded them all too 320 i buffed 1 and it didnt turn out as great as i like im getting really frustrated ive done everything ur suppose to. The pitts just wont all come out from the sand blasting i been workin on these things forever im pissed. I dunno what else to use or do i might just pay some1 to do them. Ive never had this much trouble im usually always able to figure somethin out but this is killin me.

you say they were sand blasted? not glass beaded, glass beading is the gentle version on sand blasting, sand blasting is very coarse and may require you to do alot more sanding to get it smooth.

what are you using to polish? useing power tools i would assume but waht other products have you used with it.

post a pic if you can it would help alot.

I used a air drill and the wheels smoothing kit from eastwood. Ive done alot by hand also cause the buffing tool leave a un smooth surface. Just cant seem to get them smooth enough and get all the pitts out. Yeh i knew about the glass bead also.
