Re: Dremel Suggestions?
You do not want to use any bit like a grinding wheel as it is too harsh and you will end up with worse scratches that will pick up the dirt and look worse than you have right now.
I would use very fine wire wool #000 but no coarser than #0 with a soap/water lubricant and remove the dirt by hand and then use the Dremel to polish the tip with a felt wheel and chrome polish or a polishing rouge which often comes with the kit.
Be careful that the chuck that holds the buffing wheel does not touch the tip, the tips are pretty hard but it will leave a mark.
Personally I would forget the Dremel and do it all by hand or use the Power Ball in a battery powered drill and hand polishing for the final finish. I used a Dremel on mine and I thought it was a waste of time, as you have to keep the chuck from marking the tip and the access is not easy. The narrow wheels mean you get 1/8" - 1/4" wide polished areas that are hard to blend together.
Do the job very good the first time and remember to keep them clean and save the same hassle later.
