    You'll also need to address that stabiliser once the chips are gone.

    Dear gentlemen
    thanks for all the comments and advise
    so far so good I guess
    did some breadknifing but not quite there yet I'd say... still a solid 7/8" though
    the blokes at the bodyshop gave it a rub today so it turned out quite 'shiny'
    wonder if I'll have to go for a straight edge or slightly smiling edge ?Name: IMG_2627.jpg Views: 105 Size: 142.6 KB
    what would you guys advise please ?
    Cheers , Bart

    I think a straight edge is very possible. Its looking much better already.

    Ideally the edge should follow the contour of the spine but it's your razor.

    This statement gave me pause. Are these blokes used to polishing thin sections of hardened steel? Do they know anything at all about tempering temps and the possibility of easily overheating the blade?

    Well first of all the sections aren't that thin really - it's a hollow allright but not that 'extra' hollow thin... all is done by hand on the lower grits (guess they started at 600 wet) and went up to 1500 wet (600-800-1000-1200-1500) - then they move over to the pads (3000 wet) on a Festo (non rotating polishing device thus not producing heath) and finally on the 6000 pad wet - time spent on the pads is very short also...

    Those trizact pads are great. I've used them a lot. Just need to take care not to round off straight lines with them as they are slightly padded. Good for polishing scales btw.
