I need a drooling emoticon.
That's really cool!

Thanks! I got the hilt to a good shine with about an hour invested and just using the metal polish. Earlier today I found some 2000 grit sandpaper in the garage and thought "why not?" Lol. That was about 2 hours ago. Doesn't take too long, again, thanks to the great machine work done by Tim. I polished the Luke FX awhile back, and that bad boy took forever thanks to all the surface imperfections - and I'm still not 100% satisfied with it either.
Here's the MR polished Luke:

I've gotten 2000 grit in the auto section of my local Super Wal-Mart.

Yup, I get the 2000 at the local auto part store. 1500 grit also works alright, but to get the best finish 2000 is the ticket. As for the polish, I personally use Simichrome Polish, but the easy to find Blue Magic Metal Polish works decent also.

1.) Tape off the areas you don't want to polish.
2.) Sand the surfaces you wish to polish evenly. *For this project I held the sand paper in one hand, and rotated the hilt on the paper with the other.
3.) Apply the polish to a paper towel or soft rag and apply to the sanded areas. Don't be afraid to be generous since excess polish can be easily buffed/wiped off.
4.) Buff the polished areas until your content with the results. Repeat step 2-4 if there are any areas with unwanted scratches.
