Good post.
Despite this being covered briefly in one of the mod threads (that used to be sticky), we should probably compile as much of these things as we can since model98.net seems to be down for the count.
I'd add...If you own a dremel or just have a lot of time to do this by hand, a final run with the dremel polishing wheel and mothers or another brand of aluminum polish works good. If you do it by hand, expect it to take a while. Really gives the surface mirror shine.
I sanded my hammer once, it smoothed it out but it seemed to grow some sort of oxide on it afterwards. My best guess is that it wasn't stainless steel, but rather zinc plated steel and it started to rust or otherwise react with something after I sanded it. I have no real proof that this is right, but something to look for at least.
Polish the front bolt area and the link arm path as well? I always try to just for the hell of it.
