I must admit I quite like to see I am not the only weirdo restoring bloody nuts and bolts

First off with a soft wire brush - disc type. Then a soft abbrasive disc. Next a polishing mop with standard polish and then a dry buffing mop. About 3 hours, maybe a little more. I've done the hardware on my flights for my current build too - they came out great as well

you really have to get yourself a bench grinder and a couple of polishiong mops, there's about 10 minutes work tops with one of those, and 6 of that is wire brushing the crud off first. it's the way forward, dremmels are great for getting to the bits where your mop can't go.
nice job though.
