i have no problem polish up the other metal on the machine with my 3m sanding wheel. But i cant figure out a good way to get those ball trail marks out of my scoops and the sanding wheel wont fit. How do you guys do it?

I use 500 grit and work up to 1200 grit wet sand.

The easiest way I have found is using 3m sanding disks:

3M Medium-Finishing Sander (9415NA)

3M Scotch-Brite Fine-Finishing Sander (9416NA)

Star with the medium grade sander until the ball trails marks are gone, then go over it with the fine grain sanders to leave behind a nice grain.

Yep - Scotch-Brite pad along with Mean Green cleaner works great!
