so today i went out and found my old stainless steel valves ive had for years but never got much use. i always hated the fact they had a dull, lifeless look to them so i had an idea and wanted to try it out...
stuck the valve in the end of a drill and went to town on the head of it with some 320 grit sandpaper while it spun, then went to 1000 grit and then finally used some polish. the head looks freaking AMAZING and shines like chrome.
just wondering if this is the best way to do this or should i leave out the finishing polish stage?
please excuse the dull and lifeless cell phone pics...

This is also the ONLY thing swirl polishing does for us on the backside of the head of the valves as well. A regular polish would do just as well.
