I'm just following up for everyones benifit.

This is the type of buffer you will need.

Buy this one here for a mere $60 and polish all your parts.



At this link you can get the polishing compounds and wheels for the buffer.

I can suggest you get some Svelt rags also. They seem to sell those as well.



Don't buy the Red Rounge or Jewlers rouge.. it sucks https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



Tripoly and White are the ticket. :bigthumg:
okay, so you used this buffer to get the cast markings off as well? how do you get into the small crevices like the "greddy" letters on the TB elbow? is it just impossible? i noticed that greddy doesnt poslish those things very well. haha. rough parts everywhere!!

A dremel can do it...

You will sand most of the imperfections out. The buffer will get the rest.

The little bit that it misses wont even show. Trust me.



You see the flange on my y pipe isn't perfect but who cares, the rest looks

so damn good your eyes never even focus on anything else.

They just sprayed a light coat on the polished area...

If anyone is interested please contact me. Polishing is alot of messy work and takes a long time. We do it for a reasonable price and you can see the results in the pics.
