I'm ordering that today from Amazon!!
Did you use a buffing machine or just by hand?

That looks AWESOME!

Great job!

Pardon my ignorance here, I have just looked for Flitz on eBay. They have a metal polish and a wax protectent.

Which ne do I need. Love the results and want to try it out on a couple of old wall hanging vendors I have...

Cheers

Thanks for all the compliments!  I did everything by hand and my fingers hurt now but it was well worth it.  My wife even wants it to now go in the kitchen instead of the man room.

That came out amazing!  Really cool to see stuff come back to life with some elbow grease.  I'll have to grab some Flitz sometime soon!

Best part about this story is your wife will let you put it in the kitchen. Means 2 things, she loves both you and the machine. Now you can look for another machine for the Man Room.  biggrin

Females like the 44 more then any other machine.

It's amazing how well laquer paint will polish and clean up. Your machine looks great.
