1. Great idea Randy. .... If Randy offers these polished spinners BUY them, don't bother trying to do it yourself if they are available to buy in a shinny state.
It is a messy, time consuming job, but it can be done if needed.
2. If you want to make a spinner that you ALREADY own, or a landing gear, real shinny then here is the best way to do it:
http://www.tru-turn.com/faq-29.htm It is not the polishing that does it, it is the SANDING that gets the job done. Look at your spinner or LG with a magnifying glass and you will see how rough it really is. This has to be taken care of waaaay before polishing takes place. Polish alone will NEVER take down the rough mountains in the finish, it needs sandpaper. I have done three of my 5" spinners and 3 pair of LG and they all have come out looking almost like chrome.
If you do this, try these: 1. buy lot's of latex gloves and use them on both hands all the time during the process. If you don't do this you will wish you had! Please don't ask me how I know this.
2. work over a kitchen size garbage container WITH a liner in it, have a little water in a plastic container for the wet sanding part. 3. have a large roll of paper towels at your side. 4. wear OLD clothes, it's messy! and ..... BE PATIENT!
It is not hard to do, just messy and time consuming. I would NEVER do it if I could pay for it to be done. I would have gladly added another $50 to the cost of my $180 spinner to have it come already looking like chrome!!!! The LG is a little easier, and well worth the effort but still I would pay to have it done, it is not a "fun" job.
BUY IT FROM RANDY ALREADY SHINNY, IT WILL BE WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! Randy, I hope you do offer us shinny spinners. If you make a light version for electric please put me down for a 2 1/4 shinny one! TIA :-)
