nocrap 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Time, patience and a good amount of wet/dry sandpaper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 1 Posted April 21, 2008 Yup....lots of wet/dry sandpaper.....most of the skin off your knuckles, all of your spare time for a couple of weeks! :roll: For the price that polished stuff seems to go for, I'd definitely say that it's worth just buying some ready-polished engine bits. It really isn't the most pleasurable of jobs! :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted April 22, 2008 polishing is a bit of a disease though - once you've polished one part you see how crap teh rest of it looks. Before you know if you're stripping the whole car down just to polish the nuts and bolts lol. I've taken advantage of having my engine bay in bits to try and clean/polish most of teh exposed parts and it looks far better than before (of course) so far. Will post some 'finished' pics when its done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
