Whats the trick to that then?  Anything I've ever tried to polish always ends up with a cloudy look to it....  :(

I gave them a soak in vinegar for a few nights then hit them with a 240 (aluminium oxide) grit paper followed by a fine 400 grit, then a few polishing blocks with the dremel, these are fooking amazing, you can shave in the fookers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :daumenhoch:
