TL;DR

Metal polishing tutorial for restoring oxidized pinball machine parts

Summary

Cary Hardy demonstrates a metal polishing technique for restoring pinball machine parts, specifically focusing on removing rust and oxidation from metal posts and components during disassembly.

So with this being said I going to be using my gloves because it going to get a little warm I going to primarily focus on moving controlling the metal a little bit at a time instead of just letting it freely spin. And you can see just on the top portion right there how much better that looks, getting that hard to reach stuff. Alright, so all the really difficult stuff it's pretty much off. Let's get a little more rouge on there. It's a hell of a lot better. Outro Music
