Hey folks - I've taken the strings off the Sho Bud crossover I'm restoring, the next step is to remove the changer for a really deep clean. However, I've now noticed that there are some pretty gnarly string grooves on the changer fingers. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting these out?
I've read the main threads I could find, and it seems hitting it with 600, then up to 1500 grit sandpaper, followed by a polish, is the way. However, I'm keen to get brain's trust confirmation. I have a dremel with a buffing kit, but I think I'd be more confident doing the sanding by hand.

Yes, hand sanding and following the circumference of the finger top. I have always used 400 wet/dry followed with automotive paint rubbing compound after disassembling the changer.
