Ok then chaps, whats the best way to tackle this, cleaned the plenum up abit but would really like to chincey it up abit, or is it that ive gotta do an american chopper and "send it to the chromer" ??

 

Cheers in advance.

think you need a polishing stone with wax blocks (look like soap) and keep doing it till its shiny!

 

Although I'm probably wrong and talking total rubbish... but that's how i remember it :nelson:

should keep you reading for a while :D

Going to be doing this myself soon, i'v been told a Dremel is the best thing. ;)

I started doing mine but it takes soooooooo long. I ended up taking it to a metal polisher and he did it for £90.

a dremel, a frickin dremmel................mwahahahaah, you need a real polishing set up, frost automotive do a good 3 stage polishing kit but it will still take a age to do right, ideally you need to sand smooth then start polishing

you need to sand smooth then start polishing

 

Exactamente!!

There is around 4/5 hours of sanding before you even think about polishing

I used abbrassive flap wheels to remove the stippled effect but i didn't even complete one side and gave up. I take my hat off to all those who have polished theirs. The £90 i paid to have mine polished was a bargain in my opinion, the polisher who done it said you need a machine to be putting out at least 30,000 rpm to get a good mirror finish.

I started with an electric drill and flapper wheels to get it smooth, then started on the polishing, which is still not finished!!
