looks good. i wish i had something nice enough to polish

Nice reminder, Iv'e put this elbow grease job off for way too long I'm way over due for a good polish. My tunnel looks like an old Coal Miner truck.

Catmando... you don't like the powerball, I agree. But what polishing compound are you useing? I would like to find a really good one. Your imput would be appreciated

I have tride about 10 differnt types of polish & the hollywoods metal polish worked the best,way better then the mothers,less elbow grease.

I used aluminum polish bricks and variable speed buffer (like the pros use)

 

[papafinger]

the running boards are like cheese graters...ouch..

It may be something to note but if u are polishing an older tunnel for the first time u may want to sand it down. I wet sand starting with a 600 grit, 800, 1000, 1200, and if u really want a fine go 1600 or 1800. I use mothers but have seen the jewellers rouge and it works amazing.

I still need to go over mine again but will throw up some pics when satified.

polishing is pointless "ride it hard and put it away wet":d
