The final finishing is usually a polishing process. Machines are employed here because the casting requires a heavy buffing this is another pitfall for many manufactures. Details that make the piece unique can be easily buffed away, creating a smeared unprofessional looking trophy. Hand sanding and polishing is also necessary at this point, insuring that flat surfaces remain flat and polished surfaces are smooth. Again the piece is degreased and readied for plating.
