I'd avoid olive oil & just get the real thing when you get the wet & dry.
I use the progression 320 400 600 800 1000 1200 or thereabouts. I'd go up to 2000 if i could get any higher grit's round here.
My starting grit is determined by the state of the blade.
Start with a higher grit than you think you might need, because if you start too low you might find you're not sanding corrosion off, but merely the scratches you yourself caused.

IME wd40 works best. I like 3m paper, and I usually go with something like 220, 400, 600, 1000, and so on generally never going up by more than double grit number. I try to go toe to heel with one grit, then spine to edge with the next grit and so on. Don't move up until all scratches from previous grits ate gone. Hope it helps
Ben is right on,
also, check the wiki under restoration and you'll find a tutorial on hand sandingLast edited by Del1r1um; 06-27-2009 at 07:09 PM.
