Fiat Mephistopheles (take 2)......

Hi Paul i used a cylindrical felt pad and some ultra fine Tamiya polishing paste on about 200rpm. My "experiments" showed on alloy that you really need to polish the pattern on rather than scratch it on, I did try one of those Dremel style paint brush, wire brushes with bristles cut right back which worked quite well but it was really to coarse.

I wonder if using a mechanical pencil eraser chucked into your drill would give a smaller tighter swirl? No matter, it looks amazing.
