Its a DSE Closeout panel. Jay, what did you use to clean it up? I haven't installed mine because I haven't decided whether or not I want to powder coat it or polish it up a bit. What did you end up doing to remove the tooling marks and get that "brushed" finish?

I used scotchbrite pads to give it a brushed look. I started with a medium grit pad (burgandy color) and finished with fine pad (grey). I did it by hand and went with the grain.

Alot of hand rubbing got most of the major tooling marks out. Then I cleaned it with mothers aluminum polish. I eventually plan on clearing over the aluminum. Its not a major pain to to clean it with the Mother's polish though.


Jayweb....anytime you want to. You may get the fever again though. :unibrow: :D
