Before I started sanding them, I used to scrub them with a piece of back rail cloth and the abrasive I use on my buffing wheel for brass (dry, no water). I like the texture of the sanding better. Ron N >> Ron; I agree that I don't like the high shine/glossy look or the feel of such. In my buffing the keytop is left in a lustrous condition...a pronounced texture but with a bit of shine. I have tried the 600/800 grit paper and don't like the results but I can see where some would........probably my technique! :-) Jim Bryant (FL)
