Polishing a Micro Seiki RT 3000G Gunmetal platter


Just received my Micro Seiki BL 111 turntable from Japan and would like to polish the platter. Anyone have any experience with this task? Thanks

I polished my RX-5000 platter with MAAS and the supplied cloth. I also investigated metal shops around town which dealt with hot rods and motorcycles for polishing up chrome or stainless. I feared that gunmetal being a softer material would ultimately warp if not careful and the guys at one shop I emailed, I had to explain what gunmetal even was, so decided to just do it myself.

That said I was able to get a really nice shine on the platter, but has since patina'd quite a bit. I seem to recall that Micro applied some type of coating on these platters that if removed and polished, it will patina quicker.
