[QUOTE="ejames, post: 207651, member: 2284"] A good way to check if you have all the oxidation off is to dip the stem in water. If you have missed any areas it will show up as greenish/yellowish. On a heavily oxidized stem you might consider wet sanding. I usually start with 400 grit and work up to 800 or even 1000 grit and then buff. Since you don't have a buffer,the higher you sand it the easier it will be to get it shine. Micro -Mesh is also good to use and you can put a decent shine on a stem with just the Micro-Mesh. [/QUOTE]
