Default Sanded the "Ford" and "SVT" on my eaton

I was pressed for time and I am not finished but I did get a decent start on polishing the Ford emblem and "SVT" on the eaton. I first taped off the surrounding area, then went from 100 -> 150 -> 1000 grit sandpaper. I just used what i already had for a lack of time. Once i sanded it i cleaned off the area then used a little metal polish. It still needs work but its not bad. I will pick up some sandpaper in between the 150-1000 and work on it some more later in the week.

Started with this...



then...



and what it looked like when i had to quit...




Again, pics were taken with my iphone.

If you have a dremel you can polish the emblems up nicely

You have to be careful with the dremel, it's easy to get uneven and really mess it up
