Transforming something old into something new is not all that hard. A little elbow grease can turn even the oldest looking thing into something fresh. Years of road grime and natures elements eliminated in minutes with metal polish and a felt disk on a Dremel tool. Something like this old oil cap, ‘oel’ cap to be exact, can be polished with minimal effort. I’ve learned a few things about polishing that may help, your gonna get dirty, like cover in crap flying off the Dremel covering you head to toe dirty. So wear eye protection, and work cloths, not your Sunday dress. Heat is your friend, as the metal heats up it seems to becomes easier to polish, I don’t know why but I’m sure there’s an explanation on the Internet somewhere. If you really spend some time you could turn any item into a mirror finish. Rather then remove all the imperfections I’ve actually come to like the used but restored and refinished look. It adds much character and a nice loved look.
Enjoy!
