Funding: This work is authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. We performed Centrifugal Barrel Polishing (CBP) on a 1.3GHz fine grain ILC SRF cavity following a modified version of the recipe* originally developed at Fermilab (FNAL)**. We were able to obtain a mirror like surface similar to that obtained at FNAL, while reducing the number of CBP steps. This paper will discuss the change in surface and subsequent cavity performance before CBP on a raw cavity and post CBP, after a 800C bake (no pre-bake chemistry) and minimal controlled electro-polishing (below 10 micron). In addition to Q vs. Eacc thermometry maps with preheating characteristics and optical inspection of the cavity before and after CBP will also be shown. * A. D.
