Porsche style fan polishing

Last night I polished the Porsche style fan from the type 4 engine of my Beetle.
This was the way it looked before polishing:


I began with 500 sandpaper on the lip:


Then 800 and then 1200:


After that, I hand polished the edge with the Auto Glym metal polish:


I had the center demounted and decolored by Fabio at Hot Heads Garage in Milan:


So I began also here with 500 sandpaper, then 800 and 1200:


And finally polished by hand. It's not perfect, but I like it!
