Refinishing Super Tricks

At work we just refinished a mirror polished stainless handrail to a coarse brushed finish. Started using sandpaper and green Scotchbrite. The stainless was really tearing up the sand paper so we tried a super coarse Scotchbrite that left the coarse finish we were going for. Available at Home Depot.

that will be plan C....or D?

thanks
