Ooo...So shiny!

I had one pretty beaten down 10 oz Perth Mint silver bar that really looked quite horrible. It had dings on the surface and some small blops on the surface from imperfect pouring. Well I wanted to try face lifting the bar by using first rougher sand paper to polish out all the imperfections on the surface that you could feel with your finger. Then moving gradually to higher grit sandpapers where the last finish was done with 2000 grit sandpaper. It was actually pretty quick process when I had a Dremel wheel in use. The end result was a bar that looked like a surface of American silver eagle.

After sand papering the bar the final polished finish was achieved by using the Dremel with a polishing wheel such as this

together with Mothers metal polishing cream (very nice stuff BTW!)

The finalized finish was then finalized with a last touch of polishing with a micro fiber cloth by hand. After the final hand polishing with a good cloth I was able to get the surface to look like in a proof coin. No scratches anywhere!  Out of interest I measured how much the bar weighted before I did the surgery. The weight before was 312.7 grams. After all the sanding and polishing the final weight was 311.3 grams just barely over 10 oz so I can safely say the bar is still 10 oz 

The end result looks like this (do you see what phone I have ???):

Mirror finish nearly as good as @BackyardBullion mirror bars. I like.
