Just curious if anyone knows of a good place around the Temecula area that does log polishing for a good price.

A friend of mine used a place in Elsinore next to American Materials, I think it's called So Cal Polishing. He thought they did a good job on his logs, not sure on price.

You could polish them yourself and it would only cost ya 30-80 bucks depending if you have a bench grinder or a 8" variable angle grinder

Yeah I started sanding on them myself a bit but I don't really have the time to finish them. They were pretty rough.

I've had good luck using wd40/wet sand (not water) to get them ready for buff.

What's the advantage to wd40 wet sanding over wet sanding ? Isn't a pain to clean off when it's time to polish ?

I saw an episode years back about using wd instead of water on aluminum with paper. Don't remember the details but it definitely adds to prep before polishing. This is a pick of a set I bought from Jim Brock years ago. They were in rough shape and tried the wd/sandpaper trick. A good buffer/material will bite most light to medium damage. The sanding with wd allowed the worst damage to be minor or unnoticeable.
