Its possible to polish stuff on the car but you get much better results by taking it off..

Re: post pix of your detailed engine comp!! Hey Steve, can you take a couple picture of your car with the
camera on a tripod maybe, one with hood open and one with the
hood closed? I feel like playin more with photoshop.
