I am definitely in if this guy can do the polishing. I actually boated with Axa this weekend, drank beers, talked about sandpaper, and they still didn't get polished. Please ping your guy, I've got $75 and a fedex number, thanks.

Here's the pictures of mine, they look great. Billet grab handles and the stainless inserts for the cup holders are next.

Polishing wasn't bad. About 2 hours each.

Default Mirror Finish

I have never sanded or polished aluminum. By reading past threads on the subject, internet research and trial and error, I finally figured it out. I purchase a 6" table top buffer, 220, 400, 800 and 2000 grit sandpaper. If I ever polish aluminum again, I could probably cut the time in half to 2 hours per plate.
