you can get a brass wire thingy that goes in a drill, give it a good going over and should do the job.

wet and dry and a bar of soap, the soap helps the alley flow, just work your way down on the grades of paper and then just get a good metal polish with some wire wool and then just go over with metal polish afterwards.

Cheers

angle grinder will scratch it to fook

start with 400 grit sandpaper and work your way down to 1200 grit.

a bit of hard work mind.

im gonna buy a bench grinder with polishing whels, £55 all in.

then take it to work and get it chrome dipped
