I have a set of old school centerline auto drags and would like to polish them to a mirror/high luster finish. The issue is, the existing brushed finish is course enough to snag a fingernail, looks like 36 or 50 grit finish. How would I go about sanding these smooth enough to polish/buff without gouging in spots?? And how to get in between the rivets? I'm thinking something like a flap wheel or disc. I do have access to a large enough lathe to spin them while working them.
