Thanks to all the posters explaining how to put that mirror finish back on your older straight. Seeing all those mirror finishes on the SOTD postings got me motivated. So, I bought some 220, 500, 1000, 1200, 1500 and 2000 grit sandpaper. Got out the WD40, couple of towels and some rim polish. Probably took about 1.5 to 2 hours long.
