This was my first time rebuilding one of these models! Just awaiting new carbon brushes for reassembly. Enjoy :) | ||

You know it bugs me every time I see one that looks so gorgeous, a friend had given me one years ago and I just re-gifted it later on to someone that I thought needed it more unrestored of course. My very first Kirby to play with was my aunts and that was probably about 1963 and it looked like this. Again that's beautiful! ❤️

Hey Kyle Can you tell us how you get that shine? What is your method? Are yo using a polishing wheel? | ||

One more thing... Kyle, What is the model of the hand polisher? I see that it is a Milwaukee. Where did you purchase it? What are the attachments you use with it? Thanks! | ||

You mentioned not having a bench polisher to see the results or method, there's actually a video from VacLab where he shows how to shine up a Kirby G3. I do not know about the scratch removal method but I bet if one was to combine your methods, Kyle, for the hard sanding and polishing, and then use VacLab's methods for the final polish-up on the machine - I bet it will work out really nice. Dremel also has tiny polishing kits that will be useful for getting into hard to reach areas and little fine detailing.
