I've been doing some searching both here at the THR and on the Internet. I'm looking for any insight, tips or tricks anyone might have with respect to polishing a stainless revolver. I have a S&W .22 that I would like to attempt this on. I tried doing this a few years ago using a Dremel, a rouge wheel and metal polish it was a disaster. This obviously isn't the way to achieve quality results. I ended up sending that pistol back to S&W and had the satin finish restored.
I've seen a few who have successfully accomplished this in pictures on this site. I know it can be done but I'm not sure I know how do it. This gun isn't shot much and I realize that polishing it puts a delicate finish on the revolver. This doesn't concern me. I just want to own a fully polished revolver. I've seen some who have claimed good success using a Flitz Ball and polish. What have you used or what would you recommend? If you have a picture for inspiration and wouldn't mind posting it I would also appreciate this. Thanks.
