I had an old scratched ultrafire 602C, and I'm trying to give it some new life.
I removed the anodizing (well most of it) with caustic soda with a concentration of *no idea* just by eye.
Most of the anodizing on the outside of the body is gone, but there are still 2 or 3 places in the thread where it has not gone, and I'm afraid to leave it sitting longer for fear of damaging the whole thing.
I'm happy to live with that, now what?
I'd like to polish it to mirror finish, but i tried with the dremel buffing tool and paste and it seems to do nothing, just gunks up with black (i guess aluminium) but no polishing effect.
Any ideas?
