Re:valve cover polishing?

here you go..
i bead the cover first then use a 80 grit for any serious scratches and stuff then increase grit till 1000 then use a spiral sewn 4" on my 4 1/2" angle grinder..

i will tell you now. the 50$ to spend on someone to polish it is well worth it. i gave up on a few i have..
