It's a labour of love!!

Basically, I laid the kegs on their sides between two carpentry horses and worked my way down through about four grades of sandpaper with the Makita Finishing Sander. I worked "across" the kegs, sanding each hoop of the keg with the same grade of paper. So, you need to sand each keg about 4-5 times in order to get a really shiny finish - and make sure that you sand in the same direction each time - don't "cross sand" them or you'll be at it forever!
As for my 8 corny kegs, well they were in pretty ordinary shape and I just used a large soft cloth and some autosol (brasso took too long) after lifting the stickers off with a stanley knife blade. It was a PITA to make them clean but they look noice in the fridge, except for the odd ding in the bottom of a couple of them - but they all hold pressure so that's not an issue!
...I told you I was a "beer tragic"!!
Cheers,
