Want to polish A/C evap Question
Want to polish A/C evap Question Should I buy a new evaporator and have it polished? Or will the stock one be ok to remove and re-install. A few people have told me that a used one will draw in moisture from the atmosphere and could potentially harm the A/C system. So whatcha think?

It is also necessary to remove the dash to get hvac module out. Then take the module apart to remove the evaporator. Way easier to polish the refrigeration lines running from the evap to the dryer.

I didn't know you wanted Todd's quality of polish 
, you definately can't do that good of a job in the car or with anything you just rub on and off. 
Here is a pic of mine. I went from 220-400-800-1000-1500 wet sanding. Then I applied mother's billet polish by hand until it started turning black, then I used the dremel to buff it out. Here are the results, and This was done on the car.
