polished items!
Okay so I decided to take a whack at some polishing and realized its hard work!
I bought a cheapy Roybi polishing kit for $10.00 at Home Depot and about an hours worth of time. Its amazing what little polish does!
This is the water temp sender from the water pump.
Here is the coolant lines
And the A/C canister
Granted its not perfect and I didn't know how to use the tripoli/white rouge/red rouge compunds...I got fustrated and decided to use the bottle of 3M polishing compound and it worked wonders! The mother's metal polished was used as the final touch.

Looking good. years ago i found this stuff called speedy metal polish. i think its the best stuff out there... I polished my drilled/slotted rotors to a chrome finish like glass. bought a BMR radiator shroud satin and looks like chrome,when i had ac all that stuff looked great. all i did was go to town with a rag and sore wrist and fingers and weeks later. just stripped the paint from my slp strut brace and polished it up . i have sanded things down and not sanded and got the same results with less time since i didn't have to get rid of the scuffs. what sucks is you keep finding things to polish and you never stop
