I have swirl marks accross one side of my 3A and want to remove them, it looks like someone has polished it with something mildly abrasive, what is the best product to remove these to craet a mirror finish again?

Tcuts quite good followed by mcguires metal polish

Depends on how deep the scratches are, maybe worth trying to borrow a buffer/polisher as its quite hard work.

Cheers

I've always found Autosol works well on stainless parts. I've resurrected a couple of stainless manifolds to a very good finish with it - it takes a bit of elbow grease mind and you'll probably end needing to do the entire panel to get a consistent finish.

I hit the side of my s3 with a knotted wire brush so it was deeply scratched, got it out by wet n dry through all the grades to 1500 then autoglym metal polish and it looks good.

Other scratches and swirls have been taken care of using the same polish without any other prep work, but it does take some doing, then followed by autoglym super resin polish, mainly to remove all residue of the metal polish.

Garryflex abrasive blocks (widely used by stainless fabricators) are great for removing scratches too deep for polish. Then T-Cut.
