Had the wolf on today and noticed all the scratches on the sides of the case and thought I might have a simple solution to ever having that happen again. So, here is the result. I think I'm digging it...

Superb! A great finish, and still retaining a nice sharp line between the top and side surfaces.

A couple of questions -

Did you do it by hand with brush pads or do you have a machine / drill attachment?

Also, the top surface brushing looks like it goes up to / under the bezel, did you remove it to do the work?

I used a Jewelers polishing wheel to get this done. I removed the bezel as well, which made it easier to get clean lines
