You can get mazak like a mirror guys! you just have to stick at it.

I have known a few to have corrosion problems and slight surface cracking, but it's removable with wet and dry paper

You really have to go to town on them


You can MM, but it eventually dulls/oxidises over - unless you put clear lacquer on it!

Yes they will dull a little Mike but they won't go back to what they originally were before you polished them, because you would have removed the cracked and dirty old laquer.
