Bow to my mad polisihing skillz ;)

lol, not really. Its my first attempt at polishing something, so I'm POSITIVE I could have done a better job, but hey, I'm a newbie I wish I could have snapped a "before" pic, but I didnt have a camera handy. Before polishing they were just had a satin type finish. They are a little smudged up from handling them, so the pic doesnt really show what they REALLY look like, but its close. I'd just like to thank MikeInAZ for his TREMENDEOUS help. If it werent for his website (http://www.gmtips.com/3rd-degree/dox/tips/tips.htm) and personal emails, I dont think I would have even tried this. Its very easy, and just takes a little patience and some free time, and a few supplies from www.eastwoodco.com. Anywayz..... here's the pic:



I think I'm gonna go in a polishing spree now. The next thing is probably going to be my parking lamp lenses

Just in case you were wondering, the parts in the picture are Guldstrand Engineering Tie Rod Adjusting Sleeves.
