Polishing the double rims of some CLYW throws. Some of them are okay like the Cliff, but I’m doing the Chief right now and it’s really difficult to get anything in there. Anything you guys can recommend or is patience and hard work the only way? I’m willing to spend the time since school is finally over, but I was just wondering if any of you mod gods had some advice. Thanks! 😃

Do I really just have to work a small piece of sandpaper in there?

It’s much easier to chemical strip it with oven cleaner first and then follow up with sandpaper and steel wool as desired.
