I did a halfass 15 minute wetsand job on mine and it came out lookin a lot better.

i plan to redo it when i have some spare time. Im gonna take one of my circular hole bits for my drill and bolt it down on a block of wood and attach some of the 800 grit to it. Then put that bit in my benchtop drill press and use a bungee on the lowering lever to have it apply constant gentle pressure and turn the drill on high.

that oughtta make it look brand new.
