clear lid
The Best V8 Stories One Small Block at Time
If you work on the car take the lid off and don't let anything but a micro fiber cloth touch it. They scratch easily. I knew about the scratching and used these steps from day one and it still looks like new one year later. Here's a picture:
Hurry up!
Is there anyway to get the clear lid to look like new again? I was looking at Firehawk608's lid and can't remember mine looking like that.
If it's scratched then forget about it; if it's simply lost it's luster you can polish, but be warned!- Plastic can be burned by the buff easily if you spend more than 3 seconds in the same spot and if you try to get results too quickly.
When you call Eastwood tell them you need a "wheel arbor" to mount the 1/2" hole buff to your corded drill. They will hook you up. It should cost about $5.
