I have a dremmel with a little polisher on the end and I put it at 13,000rpm and just sliding it acrost a piece of aluminum makes it look shiny as a merror instantly cause its spinning so fast. mothers is the best yo ucan get its a fact. I tried every thing else i could find nothing is as good as mothers.

For my dremmel I keep going still after the black starts till it starts to disapeer and look crome and after it all looks like that i wipe it down and mmmmmm shinny.
