I thought about doing this on my S4 n/a...who says lower-powered cars can't be shiny?



What kind of sanders do you use for the larger pieces? D/A? those funky triangular ones for small areas? Large flapper wheels?



I used to sand A LOT (bloody fingers anyone?) in a wood shop, so I thought I'd try my hand at metal.

cant get into the nook and crannies..

example bein the area below the uim where the nipples are..

dont see how it can be accessed without havin to blast it...

abrasive cones wont do.. too tight

so the question is.. do yall bypass certain areas when polishin..
