Since I had the headlight apart, I decided to "tap-out" a couple small dents and a few deep scuffs on the trim ring and clean it up. I know some of you "purists" prefer the rust, patina, and keeping the look of a 75yr old bike in all it's surviving glory but, since mine ISN'T, I polished it. What a difference. It shines like chrome now. For others who would like to do the same, I rigged up some 1500 grit wet/dry sandpaper to my buffer wheel and then finished it off with a wool buffer using Simichrome polish. By screwing the ring back together using the screw, it made the ring much more rigid and easier to handle, thus preventing it from getting bent or caught on the buffer wheel. Check it out.
