Steve- (Everyone who's polished feel free to jump in!!)
The coarsest grit available from ACS is G6. You're not the first one to recommend an F grade, and I'm going to make a serious effort to find some.
Tried Mother's- about the same as G6. Dupont Polishing Compound is about the same as Nuvite grade C.
Tried 1200 grit wet or dry. Worked fine for some spots, had to go down as low as 220 to get rid of others on the fuse sides, which are the bad pieces. Messy as hell, and I figure it's easier to buy a 2x10 piece of sheet and make new ones rather than clean the originals up. I put the originals aside for use as drill patterns and will try F grit if I can find some.
Bottom fuse skin isn't in too bad a shape. Able to clean everything up (Sloooow process). Have better luck using a chunk of old towel to rub the paste to a nice, consistant, black yuck before taking one of the polishers to it.
Speaking of polishers, how do I know when to give up on a bonnet? They turn black in seconds, and Ma took one look at one and said it wasn't to be seen in the same county as her washing machine. Can't blame her.
Here's a visual for you- Ma with one of the bonnets in her hand chasing a runaway washing machine down the road yelling "You wimp- get back here"!
