Abandoned bathtub - layers removed

I sanded the entire piece to remove the sheen, which was glossier than it should be for an old tub exposed to the elements. In some places this left well delineated scratches. To bring back a lighter sheen, I applied nail polish remover to the entire surface. To lift some of the paint in the rusted areas, I applied paint thinner with a Q tip. This lifted the paint slightly. I used a paper towel to lift the paint entirely in areas. I smoothed out the obvious scratches with paint thinner, this time just letting the paint dry without applying the paper towel.

Sounds like sort of the wax on ~ wax off process. I'm sure it will be perfect when you are all said and done.
