Thank You all for the nice comments ,it may be finished sooner than I thought ,we have a slack period at work so I have taken the rest of the week off.The picture that shows the grain up is only a meths wipe it should look a lot better that that when finished.

OH yeah!!!!

That is awesome Mr Tinbasher :thumbup:

Got any others that will look like that :D :D :D ;)
 
I remember when stripping these Busses was considered groundbreaking and daring! My, look how we've all grown up.;)
It sure would be cool to see a Busse Mod-Off. It could be part of the INFIlympics.:thumbup:
Beautiful work Tinbasher! I'm sure you and Ban would be the ones to watch.:thumbup::D

Thanks again guys.
The polished finish.
First I cut a strip of Aluminium tape just big enough to cover the Busse logo and rounded off the ends.
Then begin hand sanding out the vertical lines left buy the factory satin finish,this has to be done by hand because the blade is not flat its more like a very shallow hollow grind ,220 grit first then 400 then 600 about 2.5hrs a side then its on to the buff I only used the white compound once it looks nice and shiny I take a wire brush to the buff then give the blade a final once over ,remove the tape covering the logo and polish that bit by hand using a paste called Reflections.I hope this covers what you needed to know,any more questions will happily be answered.
