how do you do the "wet sanding"? And doesn't it create fine scratches? Yours looks good so you're doing something right.

I'm fond of the bag on the Heritage. You do very nice work. I bring Kirbys back to life for resale when I get them, but only to a functional, clean level. I can't get enough money for one second hand to justify the polishing; they just get a clean-up. |

Shiny Kirbys distract me too! The sticks of polish were purchased at my local Sears Hardware store, as was the bench grinder/polisher, but I believe the sticks can be purchased separately for convenience. |
