Administrators BRAAP Posted March 27, 2009 Administrators Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) how did you get your intake to shine like that?, and your valve cover It's all in the camera. Flash photography... These two pictures are a bit more extreme, but you get the idea. Edited March 27, 2009 by BRAAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughdogz Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Haha!! You guys are cracking me up! All these polishing threads tonight... Yeah, you just wetsand it and then polish it. Or you can use a wire wheel as mentioned in the other thread. It was a PITA with the turbo valve cover, since it is wrinkle painted from the factory. I actually used a paint scraper to get it off, but that was years ago. It would be far easier to have it bead blasted first. I remember reading in a thread that when wheel manufacturers polish their Aluminum rims, they have to get the metal really hot by the friction of the buffing wheel. That requires a lot of HP. I would be great to have a giant floor standing buffing wheel. Or you could spend hours and hours polishing by hand like I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
