Wow! That turned out great. My daily mod is a Panzer 26650 in brass, which I love. It's super solid, and incredibly heavy, but that's never bothered me. If you haven't yet, you should look into the magnet switch conversion for it. Best $5 I ever spent. I've went to great lengths to keep it as clean as possible, but it has a similar finish after all this time. I will have to beg you for any direction on getting it like yours? It looks like it might be a crazy polish job, but almost looks plated. What on Earth did you do to get it in this shape?

Wet sand with 800 to 1200 to 1500 to 2000 grits sand paper then buff with compound takes 3-4 hrs to do

Awesome! Thank you. This will be done before the weekend is over. I never imagined it would polish up that nicely.
