I prefer the time proven method of all hand work and polishing, no wheels or power equipment of any kind. Start with one grit and slowly work up to the finer grits.

Remove all the dents first then draw file all the dings, nicks etc. and finally begin polishing with various W & D grits.

The fewer the number of caustic acidic chemicals that work their way between the ribs the better in my opinion.
