Quoted from leckmeck:Mothers Mag and Aluminum.
Use shop rags, not paper towels, which shred too easily. You can get bundles of rags at Home Depot, Menards, or Lowes.
When all your parts are taken apart, you can lay a rag on a flat surface and polish the flat sides of small parts with a back-and-forth motion. Use the edge of a workbench to get into parts with right angles. Cut the rags into thin strips to buff inside areas. For larger parts, I’ll wrap the wrag in a rebounding rubber and use it for buffing. Think creatively.
Be sure to buff parts until no black residue remains, and handle with care afterwards. Any fingerprints left on zinc will oxidize. It’s infuriating. I need to find something to prevent this. Some kind of sealant.
Do you use anything, stashyboy?
Just realized you answered this question on page 1 
Thank you for your patience. Maybe you just have more patience than me and that's how your getting those mind blowing results 
. Maybe it's a difference in prep beforehand. Are you evaporusting everything before? I've got a stepper that is covered in white oxidation and I couldn't imagine getting it to look like yours.
Quoted from lint:Anyone who has seen an example in their own game can tell the work you have done. top notch stuff. Love watching your progress.
Still amazed at that stepper. My wife found me re polishing parts last night.
Wife: "Honey, I thought you were finished with those parts?"
Me: "I thought so too until I saw leckmeck's stepper"
Wife:"Who's leckmeck and what did he do to you?!?!"
*shows wife picture of leckmeck's stepper*
Wife:"Oh. Wow. I see. You have a long way to go...."
