Easiest way : take it to local buffer

i used 600 then 800 grit on a tank, then used an angle buffer and started with red compound then white to finish off, keeping the buffer sliding around works the best so you get even work.If you dont want to do it, most wheel repair shops will do it for you, for a ricks tank i couldnt imagine them charging more then 200 bucks since its already smooth

this guy has obviously done this kinda work before:rofl:

its time and money ahead to pay people to do what they do...... stainless is just about the hardest material on the planet to polish out with now burns/flaws. i have done it a few times, then i found a local place that does it way faster, way better........ and if its not quite up to par.... they do it some more or they dont get paid.
