Here is a link on polishing I put together...
"How to Polish"

Its fairly easy with the correct tools, just like doing any other project. Then practice makes perfect. I also went all out a bought a 5ft flexible shaft buffing wheel which attaches to the grinder, to reach into the engine compartment to buff items I do not want/can not remove (not shown in the write up).

Read my write up and email me with any questions you may have, I would be glad to help. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I finally started getting the parts put back on my car, but have a ways to go. I still need to order clamps for the hoses, I want a Holley intake, you know how it is, never ending, lol.

Thank you a lot for your reply! I already have read your example of the throttle body, very interesting. Can you give me an ideal cost on all these supplies, I would probably buy all of them and give it a try. I am an artist myself, and would definately have the patience and time for this, thank you again, and by the way, is there a specific category on the Eastwood site to find all these "goodies," lol, the site looks complicated, esp. cuz I'm not familiar with this whole sanding business. Thank you again Todd!

$100 for the grinder, $150 for the 8in buffer, expander wheel $35. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Eastwood pages-Click on Buffing & Finishing, then buffs or compounds or equipment or expander wheel.

Have you cedit card ready, lol. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
