i just got finished polishing my slp runners and they look great. although it took for ever. i went up to 600 grit sandpaper and used the buffing compounds but i still have those very fine hair line scratches. the ones you can see when you tilt it a certain way and the ligh reflects off it. i cant seem to make them go away. does anyone know what i could use/do to make them go away?

Go up to 2000 grit...well thats what I do anyway.

I'm sure you could use some harder wheels with the compounds, then work your way up to the soft wheels with the compounds. That should get rid of your fine scratches.

i agree 100% with TunedPort 335. 2000 grit sand paper will take those fine scatches out .... use mothers polish but do it by hand... then use a regular paper towel to take the mothers off... helps remove the cloudyness.... good luck... got pictures?

okay i will try that. should i go from 600 strait to 2000 or should i use 800 ,1000,1500, 2000. i havent got any pics yet put they look sweet. they look just like glass. that was one of the hardest things i have ever done but well worth it when your done? i have worked on the for about two weeks strait for about 2-3 hours each night. now i have to do the plenum and distributor* cover.

i would start at 600, then go to 800,1000,1500,2000. then start with mothers, be sure to use a soft paper towel... they will look like you bought them like that... good luck... keep us posted

looks sweet! did you use a clear coat on your set up?

TunedPort 335

NOoooo don't use clearcoat. No matter what kind it will eventually turn yellow and look like crap.

If anything, use this stuff called Zoop seal. It's expensive but alot of hot rodders swear by it.

I just polish everything once every few weeks or so. Still looks great.

there is some clearcoat in a can you can buy from eastwood co. for like 10.00. it says it withstands heat up to 300 and wont yellow. what do you think about that stuff?? i know about that zoop stuff its like 150.00.

http://www.zoops.com/zoopseal.asp it actually cost 130.00, but well worth it.
I reccomend this to all of my coustomers. Its a great product that will seal the part from the elements of wear and it will keep the shine for a long time.
