Polishing the Alt... Can it be taken appart - on a truck, and done?
I just got a new dremel and I want to make it look better...
any advice on dremel tools/bits compounds etc etc is greatly appreciated aswell.

Mine looks great, very shiny, it is not bad, it is if you want perfection, then start sanding. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Depends on what you want and the time you can spend.
