then i did a wet sand with 400 grit

then moved to hand wet sanding with 600 grit..
then promptly realised i have no more polish or 1200g sand paper..
so off to the store i go tomorrow and i'll finish this up.. all chrome like..
now remember THIS IS POROUS ALUMINUM ALLOY..
so if i can get this done up pretty... you can do it to steel no problem..
p.s. that's my truck torn apart in the reflection

everything from this point out will be done by hand
