dont want to put a downer on it but autosol will never give you a mirror finish,its a rough polish and you will always see scratches and sanding marks.
if you want to do polishing the proper way get some mops and a 3/4 - 1hp motor. then you will see results.

Just be careful polishing dashpots, they aren't that thick and even a small amount of distortion could effect the piston's ability to rise 'n fall smoothly.

unscrew the screws, take out the damper and lift it off slowly, the carb spring is in there but not under much pressure, I would suggest you get a haynes manual before you start taking bits apart.

My local enineering shop. It is an airline adaptor, He gave me a thingy too screw into the rockerbox, and then that barbed fitting into that. But I just screwed the barbed fitting straight in.
