I have just folded myself a nice box for my prommie out of soem reclaimed stainless steel (I think).

However, it's pretty ,much scruufed and scratched up so how do I go about polishing it back to a nice finish?

I've got a similar hand sander and a larger one. So basically varying degrees of sandpaper on one of them? Can anyone give me an indication of grades please?

borrow someones small angle grinder, you can get scratch pads for them, obviously use a fine grade one, go over with that to knock the worst off, then tart it up by hand, probably from 800g up to 1200g - then use a buffer attachment on the grinder to polish it up, obviously buy a polishing product
