    This is the same system guys have been polishing big truck wheels and fuel tanks with a hand held. Its truly amazing what this can do. They also have a liquid polish you can finish up with just using a fiber cloth for that extra fine mirror.

    Want to mirror polish a Manix 2 blade for me this year? This year I want my big project knife to be a mirror polished Manix 2. Was originally thinking about harvesting a MagnaCut blade from a Salt, but people have been having huge problems getting them to work in G10 liners, so now I'm thinking about CPM Cruwear when the Crucarta Manix drops.

    Hey dude, started using this kind of buffing and polishing system for about 20 years on many different metal projects, just hobby stuff, and motorcycle parts. To get super fine needs i use cape cod polishing clothes. This will polish out small scratches in glass and mirrors. Have you used this for anything? I like to see others work and get good tips . Never to old to learn. Do you use epoxy glue on you scales. If so what kind. Thanks. Good video. Gunna subscribe.
