My first polish test
![Post Post](./styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
I decided to polish to save weight, but before making a final decision, I wanted to do a test to see how hard it would be on an elevator that I am not using on my airplane. It was not too hard, it took me about 1.5 to 2 hours to get a shine that I'd consider not embarrassing to take to a fly in. This took three passes with grade F9 and a single pass with grade C, no finishing grade S was used.
First, the other (non-polished) side:
Here's the polished side:
And a head-on more detailed view:

In that last shot you can clearly see some swirls and such. Again, this is a "good enough but not great" polish. On the actual airplane I'd probably use another F9 pass, another C pass, and a S final pass.
Any comments?
