Stunning stuff there. Came up brilliant.
After looking at that I think I've really got to spend more time when I clean an engine.

Yes looks great.
I'm with you Wallace I tend to get bored polishing before I reach that mirror finish.

Yes I use a dremel for those hard to polish parts too.
We have a few purists on this forum that think a dremel is cheating. (Not mentioning any names MM) 
But personally I think if the dremel saves a lot of elbow grease I'm all for it.

Wow, think I ought to borrow a dremel and have a go at mine! I was too busy firing it to bother with cleaning  but now I've got the SE2a to have a go at as well, perhaps I'll have a go!
And by the way, I never got round to saying hi to you when you joined - so hello and welcome, especially to Jilly - more girl power! |

It sure does.
Excellent finish and well worthy of the Sandman Shiney Award.
