#80 grit at 80# pressure. :D

Have you ever tried other types of media, like soda or walnut shells?

I tried walnut shells, quickly found out they're for getting a satin finish on something after it's already clean. :x They do NOTHING on nasty cases, heads, etc...

No just glass. I drop the pressure to 40-50 for the 2nd time around to get a satin finish. Jerry's motor is nearly done. Pics to follow.
