Lots of patience and the right tools haha, but it’s not too bad & thank you! It honestly turned out way better than I thought it would.

In a nutshell:

  1. I stripped the ano with Hydrofluoric acid
  2. Put yoyo on the drill and sanded from 1000 grit up to 2000 incrementally ensuring I got all micro scratches and imperfections out
  3. Polish on drill with good aluminum polish

I got in the tight spots by folding the sandpaper when sanding and polishing with q-tips!

It was beat and already had a bit of fingernail vibe, so it still has that bit but it didn’t get any worse at all.

Can’t you remove the ano with sodium hydroxide? Why would you choose to work with HF over sodium hydroxide?
