If you really want to get serious about polishing it - this would be my method.

I would get a DA (they make with smaller orbital paths for color sanding application - we have a Dynabrade, but I can't remember the specs). You can get discs for it all the way down to 3000 and 4000 grit. Start with whatever is required to work out the scratches/grinder marks (some of them may be starting with 220 from what I see). Work your way up to 2000 or 3000 and then I would buff it either with a normal buffer or I may even try an orbital buffer and some normal compounds.

Any way you look at it - -this will be a massive amount of work. It would look awesome though.

The part that would stink is that you would have to constantly be polishing on it. I may just DA the whole thing with 220 and be done with it!
