the first step is to get some crystal meth, you'll want the superhuman tweaking skills to mirror polish anything.

1. no scratches. use tools and sandpaper to get a really smooth surface to start with. this step will also remove any anodizing

2. repeat step 1. seriously. you need a baby butt smooth surface to start with. you'll need several grits of sandpaper and have to progressively sand the parts smoother and smoother

3. polish. find a polishing compound and some power tool (dremel, drill, bench grinder) and the accompyaning polishing wheel and polish polish polish

4. polish some more

5.????????

6. profit
