I polished my runners yesterday, I polished them while they were still on the car since I didnt have the proper tools to remove them , but they came out pretty darn good for now, I will be taking them off as soon as I get the tools so I can give them the true mirror shine I desire!

Looks great man! Mine was polished till I got tired of trying to keep them up.

So, what do you guys think?

how hard was it to polish them while still installed, i've always wanted to do it but just figured it'd be too hard unless i took them out and i do'nt have the knowhow to do that

nikh:

Lets just say I ripped my thumb open on a piece of metal while I was doing one side

Thats why the passenger side ones look a bit less shinier than the driver side ones\.

They took me about 3-5 hours all together while they were on the car, I unhooked every wire that was in the way including the injector plugs, that freed up a good amount of space to get to them, you cannot get them 100% detailed unless you take them off, but you can polish and clean the visible parts .

I used very fine steel wool at first, then my bluemagic aluminum & mag plish to add the finishing touch, I dont use mothers, I like magic more, it just takes a grip of patience, dedication, and well, patience lol.

p.s. can you see my polished heater core LOL.

Looks very good.

good job bro

Looks nice man... your back must kill after being bent over the car for that long

Shiney.:hail:

WOW!! That looks freaking good Especially because they are still on the car, i wouldnt have the patience to do them on the car!!
Aj

looks good! :lala:

holy crap 87transam5.7tpi! yours is very nice also!

5:55am?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! you're nuts

They look really good . I can't wait to see how they come out
when you remove them and repolish, make sure to post some
pics. Great job .

AAhh!!!! My eyes!!! need some shades Yeah thats better.

thanks for the compliments guys, I really appreciate them.

I am planning on taking them off next weekend and finishing the job, I am also thinking about taking on the job of polishing the plenum the same weekend, or as soon as my thumb gets better.

Damn, thats shiney! Looking good man

Look so good, I started mine last night !!

turn down the glare on the screen!

I started my plenum polish last night, but I started with the plenum extension first. Are you following the instructions in the tech forums, or have you a secret I am unaware of. This is time consuming, but I am willing to work for results... any tips you have would be appreciated.

nice job, i tried that once on my last z and it lasted for about 6 months. now my new ones are painted black and the plenum is polished
