Still factory finish. Looks like a light factory polish. I'm not going to modify the surface until I get on a heavy oil shot and see what it does. My two regular Inferno's match up pretty much everywhere I've been recently, so no need to screw with the Raging yet. Instead, I'm going to drill up another 'used' Inferno and take the surface down to 1500 dull followed by some rubbing compound. I'd like to get a ball to fit between the polished Inferno and the Raging Inferno.
