i wet sanded (water + soap in a spray bottle) using 1000 grit first, then bumped it up to 2000 grit. I kept the surface/sand paper pretty wet. then i used mothers mag and alum polish on the power ball. came out pretty good. the more you sand with both grits the better the shine will come out. plus you'll get rid of the surface scratches. overall, its taken about 12 hrs to do all the engine parts - dis-assy, polishing process, re-assy.

It is going to be a LONG time before we ride trails. It was about 17c here yesterday, which is around 62f for my US friends...
