Polishing Metal with a Dremel Rotary Tool

[Trimere]

It'll only take you all day to polish one thing. *smh*

Getting rid if tool marks requires softer polishing. You could use water to blend in tool marks with rough abrasive polish. I haven't used the polish that came with mine. I actually use 3M rubbing compound, with enough passes it will give it a mirror finish.

FLitz is the best

WHY is this not recommended for chrome?

Is there something else I can use with my Dremel, for chrome?

[elstado1]

@cableaddict agreed. I have a whole bunch of chrome bike parts to polish and i would hate to do it by hand since I have a Dremel 400 at my disposal.

Can the felt tips be reused or are they one time use?

[merlin4029]

How do you get rid of the tool marks on the metal after you're done?  I've tried using more/less polish, polishing lighter/harder, polishing multiple times, and I've tried polishing with quicker/slower strokes. I only have a one-speed, so maybe the bit is moving too quickly/slowly, so any information would be appreciated.

@merlin4029 i have a 4000 and i rubbed polishing compound that came with it on my shiny 1st gen ipod touch back and polished it all different speeds and ways and it still looks like brushed chrome...
