Very straightforward; I learned from my mistakes during my test cut about file integrity so the process this time was much smoother with the water jet

I knew that I wanted to make something shiny as possible; used sandpaper, the sandblaster and the electric sander to get the desired texture and shine, then a wire brush for a more consistent sheen. Used the wd-40 to make the electric sanding process more efficient so I only had to do a pass or 2. The grease helped with the shine and will protect the metal long term
