Wanting to spiff up my enclosures a bit and was wondering if anyone has a sure fire way of polishing the Hammond series enclosures to a good shine. After that I will label and seal them of course. Just wondering if anyone has a tried and true method.

Several techniques. Search for "polish"

The easiest is to buy one pre-polished. I think SB has em.
It's time to buy a gun. That's what I've been thinking.
Maybe I can afford one, if I do a little less drinking. - Fred Eaglesmith

Thnaks Push but I have some enclosures on hand and would like to polish them. Looking up "polish" would mean sorting through millions of hits before finding the one I need. I was hoping that someone had a method on this BB that they would share with me.

Have you tried a set of search terms like "polish enclosure" ? ;)

The basic principle involves sanding the enclosure with progressively finer grades of wet`n`dry sandpaper until you`ve achieved the degree of polish you want. You can then finish off with a buffing compound and a couple of coats of clear, if desired.

I use an electric sander for these values: 150-220-400-600-800. Then finish off by hand with 1000 then 2000. This will leave an even flat polish. If you want it to have a chrome appearance, use a dremel with a polishing bulb and use some Brasso. You can get some interesting polish patterns this way :)
