asands Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 My 001 arrived today, and I love it. Only thing is, it arrived with a brushed CG. So I'm verry happy with it, but not content with it (if that makes any sense!) Any suggestions on what I should do? The reason I bought the 001 was due to it being one of the most accurate reps, so I want to get this fixed (along with relume and pin fix). Can a brushed guard be polished up? or should I just buy one of jimmy's guards since they seem more accurate and I have to do something about it anyway? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasigi Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I wish this had happened a couple of days ago. I just brushed the shiny CG that was on my 005 but I'm not happy with the result yet. Who is this Jimmy btw? I've heard him mentioned before. K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy is a guy who has aftermarket crown guards, dials etc and sells them on ebay http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZjimmyzfu Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlesDickens Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 You could polish that baby up in no time . Start with 1000 grit sandpaper(wet) then move on to 1500 and finally 2000. Then get a rouge based metal polish and spend 3 minutes with a dremel and it'll look like a mirror. Works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 These clothes also work quite well: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Cape-Cod-Polishing-Clot...1QQcmdZViewItem I used them with my full appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
