RE: Getting your spinner to shine
For those of you that don't want to go to a great deal of work to get a good shine....take a 3/16" x 4-6" bolt ....insert through nose of the spinner and the back plate...installed nut...tighten,,,insert in a battery drill....take some 4/0 steel wool...and carefully hold a pad of it against the spinner as it is being turned by the drill...when statisfied with the quality you want...take some brasso cleaner...gotten at any grocery store....apply to an old rag...and apply...after a couple of minutes....stop...take a clean part of the rag and now start the shinning process...the rag will have to be turned 3 or 4 times. to get to a clean spot to continue on with...this same process works wonders with mufflers on 4 strokers...Mufflers will look better than new...
With a little more work as stated above...after the steel wool, which is around 320 -400 grit...wet sand with600grit -800 grit, then 1000 grit.....and so on to get to the finish one wishes...

That does work well but BE VERY CAREFUL !! I was doing that and one of my fingers got caught in the cut out for the prop. Wasn't pretty.
