I've started to buff the Kirby 510. I don't have a buffer, so I am doing it buy hand using Mothers Mag Polish. As the picture shows, most of it is buffing up OK, but there are some areas that are remaining a dull "gun metal" grey. My question would be, If I keep polishing, will these areas brighten up? Guy

Some of that oxidation won't come out unless you use a bench polisher. If you do purchase one, I'd encourage you to buy the two different polishing compounds that Kirby sells to its distributors. I learned the hard way that there is no substitute. As stated above, one compound will "cut" away the oxidation and minor scratches. The other compound will bring the casting up to a bright mirror-like finish. You can polish and polish and polish with steel wool, and it just won't do a thing for some of the discoloration if it's really deep.
