Re: Rare trim issue.

It will take a long time to polish even with proper tools and consumables.
I wouldn't send it out as it's too rare.
When I did my charger trim I used a large 240 grit flap wheel on a floor machine (spindle) then 320 followed by a sisal mop with yellow peril compound and then a soft cotton/stitch mop with hyfin compound (we use a bovine free alternative at work now I'll find out what it's called and report back).
You can use smaller 6 inch mops on a bench grinder. It will just take a bit longer. I'm sure you know a dust mask at the very least is essential even with the soft mops and especially if you use trizact products as the dust is so fine. Excellent product but very expensive.
I may have some mops and compound in my shed to fit a bench grinder if you are interested that I can post to you.
There are other methods as already mentioned but this is the way I do it!
