Polishing Inlet Fanny Mould/Rocker Cover

[Swervin_Mervin]

What's the best method of doing this guys?

I was thinking wire bruch on a drill/dremel and then lots of metal polish.

wouldnt mind knowing this one myself . . . .

might be easier with a bench grinder with a wire brush on for the larger areas and just the drill for the tricky bits

[Coops]

quickest, sanding star on power drill(less likely to get dints/spots where u lean to hard on the drill!)

best finish - all by hand down to 2000 grit paper

once its all sanded down use autosol to get it to shine up, done!

its a wall ache... it WILL take you days and when you start you'll wish you hadn't ;)

its casr so you'll have to grind it flat first then wet n dry and all through the grades (like coops said) then cotton mop with compound then autosole :wink:

Well I have a spare one so I might as well. What's a sanding star? Is that one of those wheels with loads of sanding squares attached?

[Swervin_Mervin]

Scratch that question. Just found out what they are.

Im going to start playing with my sand blaster when the wether pics up

Polishing is a ball ache ...and you will waste many hours of your life doing it lol

I find it quite relaxing and once i get started find it hard to stop :oops:

my tryed and tested method is wet and dry

[Winston]

Brand new ...I dread to think lol
