Well...it all depends...if its bare then you just polish if it doesn't have and scratches if it does go 00 steel wool then 0 and then polish...for stuff with paint i use paint remover...i hate sanding..which i still have 2 do alot..thats basically how i do it...i think i'm pretty good at it. i polish stuff for people btw let me know if your intrested.

if it has paint....paint stripper or sanblasting will work...then if sand blasted...go to 80 grit paper..then to 400....then #0 steel wool....and if you have availible any finer stuff (#00,#000)use...it will get even more scratches out...then apply mothers to a rag...if you ahve use a dremel..this was done with with that process alonf with a dremel

You guys are nuts. I start with 400 on just about everything. Just use a lil more elbow greese. Then you don't have to worry about any gouges. They aren't fun....

I usually start at 220 unless there are very deep scratches in the parts.
