The brake steady arm bolt is well stuck - tried to press it out in the vice jaws by using a socket that just goes over the threads (9mm) and a large one on the other side that clears where it should emerge - no joy.
Currently giving it some releasing fluid again. Not tried heat yet.

First off Ted, light blue is too fine. You can spend all day using it and it won't make much difference TBH. What did you use to get it to that state?
Try heat Ted, it's your best friend.

I am a novice polisher, I've done a few big bits over the years for Graham, under his guidance and I'm sure it never took so many hours. At that rate, it would cost £500 to get a professional polisher to do a brake plate at that hourly rate 😂😂😂😂I've just done half of this end cap, it took me less than 2 minutes and it hasn't had a final polish yet. This was just using a satin mop and a stage 2 soft mop, with no cutting back.

No idea Ted. Its what's written on the big boxes of polishing supplies I buy from The Polishing Shop.
