Great looking first restore! Excellent decision to do it fully by hand. I have a variable speed dremel and I didn't even think about touching it untill I was on my fourth restore. Even now I only use the sanding buffs and only if I absolutely have too, quiet frankly the thing scares the hell out of me. I use Mother's polish and just use those disposable blue shop towels (like papertowel), I've also used newspaper with great results. Once again great work and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project.
