First Time Polishing Under Hood

[greatwhiteZ28]

can it get any shinier or is that just about it. plus i polished the tube to the right of it. i used a steel wool and put it on power drill then just used mothers to finish. look i also did the crimped hose clamp

forgot to take before pic but i found one that is not polished to show the diff

WOOT! i like that alot, man. I'm gonn have to try that...i have a lot of stuff in the engine that has a tarnished, white/gray coating to them and i bet the steel wool will take it off for sure!

all these under hood threads are going to make me start doing some more work under there haha.

So how is this done? I just put the wool brush my angle grinder came with then polish it with wax???

[jmhvenom]

Not wax, some guide of metal/aluminium polish I believe. I recommend Billet Aluminum Polish.

first buy some metel polish, not paint polish. i used mothers and not even the exspenive one just plain. start by just apllying it on what ever your doing and rub the crap out of it, like 10 times. i also used a 8" power car waxer just to give me a break, but not needed. for rougher surfaces you will have to sand to smooth out. start w/ like 400-500grit then move up all the way over a 1000 grit for brake calipers, TB's, MAF's etc.... it cost me about $7.00 and about a hour.

hoped this helped you nick
