Awsome Metal Polish

Grabbed this stuff one day at WalMart to polish blower plenum. Holy crap does this work great!!! This is the original A/C thing from 98, and all I did was use this stuff.

Not at all. Maybe 3 or 4 applications on the top, but only 1 on the lines and fittings...

Did you do that by hand?? Or did you use a wheel on a dremel or something?

Looks like it came out good. I sanded mine and it still didnt come out that nice. Might have to try that stuff out.

I did that by hand. No sanding. Just a rag and the polish. Good stuff!

The canistor on the LS1's don't have a cast aluminum finish...so it's very easy to polish them to look like a mirror. I polished the canistor and the lines on my TA too.

Here is the intake and runners on my Z28. It had the Cast Aluminum finish on it...so I had to sand it with 80 grit and worked up to 2000 and buffed it with Mothers. Came out like a mirror
