Can anyone tell me how to polish raw stainless steel to get the nice

makes any difference. If its a load of hard work perhaps I'll leave
the brushed finish..........

Go sailing and dont worry about it.

OR, you could buy some very fine aluminum oxide powder, say 600 grit
and apply it to a dremel tool buffer.
