Is this a simple task? It seems the blade is lightly sanded in the first place, is this one of the easier blades to clean spotiness, no pits just stains here and there. Thanks ahead all, Tiep

Rich, whether one should do such a thing is debatable & really depends on how bad the blade is & if it will really be a gain by doing so. If you feel you are unhappy with what you have and want to go ahead then my advice would be to try a very fine grain wet and dry paper as used in the motor body repair industry. Maybe an 800 or possibly even finer. You could try out on a piece of scrap metal and try to get the finish you want before applying it to your blade. Do it wet, it`ll go a lot easier as the water is a lubricant. I used to do car body repairs in another life and don`t see why it shouldn`t work well.

If you decide to go ahead maybe you could do a before & after, folks always like to see those!
