Thats definatly something you do not want to do in your apartment. Its really messy and you need room to breathe. Garage is ideal.

i used to polish stuff in the kitchen sink, if you wet stand there's no dust. I have an easy write up here link . FIREHAWK#608 is the man when it's comes to polishing. I'm sure he'll chime in soon.

Here's a pretty lengthy one from eastwood.com http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?i...8&iSubCat=1445

They are the best source for polishing equipment around here.

Biggest thing to remember is patience...don't rush through and you will eventually get the result you're looking for.
