Also said F it to hand sanding... took the orbital sander with 400 grit and sanded the spots it would fit all to the same level. The anodizing is off in those areas, not quite as good in the corners but good enough for the girls I go with... polished it will look much better than it was. Ill hand wet sand with 800/1000/1500 tonight. I need to figure out how to get the middle portion of the grill a little better, but again it won't be show quality... just much nicer.
