I tried polishing aluminum today, good results
I tried out the table mount buffer I got for 10 bucks, never even put a new wheel on it and test polished part of the aluminum air cleaner cover to my mercedes, I sanded it with 400 ( dry ) then 800 ( wet ) and then 1,000 ( wet also ), then I used 3M rubbing compound and it came out pretty good for first try. I'm working on polishing my Valve cover off my mercedes for my dad so he can have a nice polished valve cover for his cause he wants me too.Last edited by Matt167; 08-31-2004 at 05:54 PM.

The engine looks awesome, I like the low intake. That'll be some eye candy when the hood is popped.
