Oddjob:
Rotor cover now completely sanded down to 1000 grit.
Ready for polishing. Not sure when I'll have a day or 2 of polishing, need the weather and to feel in the mood. Dirty job, look like a coal miner afterwards..
Front. The only place any pits are left is about 9.47 and 11.55. Both under the cover so not important.
Sides. Tried to do the same angles as the original pic so you can compare between the damage and the finished article.

I know the time involved so well done mate ;D ;)
Oddjob:
Ordered some new felt mops as my old trusty one has decided to spin on the shaft. Felts are really not meant to be fitted to the extension shafts so it wasn't unexpected for it to start slipping. The new ones have leather centres fitted so that should help them to keep from slipping. Also trying a much harder density felt mop to see how that performs, should be here in a few days so I may have a couple of days polishing. I'll let you know how the new mops perform.

A Dremel, even the most powerful Dremel is less than 200W, that means you can use it for 5 hours and you'll use 1 unit of electricity, that's around 16p approx. Hardly going to break the bank.

A bit last year on the cost at the moment its nearer 29p /kwh on flexible tarrrif still not that expensive though..
I'm currently in Hibernation mode with the polishing mullarky.
