    Do you need to steal wool the parts first to get the scratches out?

    Quoted from ArcadiusMaximus:

    Depends on how bad they are. I have sanded with 220 working my way down to 2000 wet sand and finally scotch brite. That was for a really bad scratch so you may not have to start at such a low grit. Also, make sure to tumble screws SEPARATE from finished metal and maybe even posts. Screws can potentially scratch other metal surfaces while tumbling.

    My bad I put screws and stainless steel pieces together?

    Quoted from vid1900:

    And remember you should add some abrasive and not use walnut shells all by themselves.

    What abrasive should I use I'm just using Walnut?
