The finish does last, however it's dependent on a few external factors ie weather, humidity, use, polish applied etc..

TillyWolves - Correct. There is always room for improvement and it is our intention to produce better videos as and when we are able. This applies to our other video's.

[rexschaller]

That's correct. You should ware gloves when performing this kind of work. Thanks for the heads up.

@bkoberley thanks: I would however suggest using fine wet/dry papers from 240grit to 400grit sanding away the linishing marks left by the flap wheels.

[bucketrobbert]

you find that if you go against the grain of the glaze you will polish your mettle faster and do a better job also keep your peace moving so you don't cut a grove into the metal

@rexschaller Good video but you can also use specialty coatings as well such as eastwoods diamond clear to protect the metal after a good hand polishing.
