Here's some pictures of the progress I made tonight. Very labor intensive but hopefully it'll look nice when it's done.

The case was bead blasted which left a rough surface. What I have to do is sand with 400 grit sandpaper, then polish with a rubbing compound and then a polishing compound. I am using a die grinder with felt cones for the rubbing and polishing compounds, but the sandpaper is all manual. I'm not that happy with the bead blasting of the case, but it's the only way to get rid of the oil stains.
