Can you fix minor pitting?

I have an otherwise nice flare SS with some pitting on the doors. Just wondering if these can be easily sanded down to make a user grade razor.

Would that work, or just speed the corrosion process?
 
You can sand it down, but depending on just how bad the pitting is, in order to make it completely disappear you'll likely be sanding through the plating on the rest of that area, which would make it susceptible to further oxidation without a replate.

If you're not too concerned about "pretty" you can get some buffing compound and just buff it all smooth and then polish it up. You'll still have dark spots left, but it'll be totally usable.
