here is some updating polishing of mine

 

rim

 

lookin' good!

 

What was the process on that AC canister? Did you sand it down at all with very fine paper and then rubbed in that Mothers alum. polish, and then buff it out? I would like to know b/c that looks really good and mine, well looks like poop! Nice job man.

 

i used rough steel wool then i used 0000 and 00 cant remember which is the finer stuff in which order, the one is metal polish other one is called final finish, then after that applied mothers like 3 times.

 

i only wish i had a better digital camera so my pictures would look better i can put my face in front of it and see my face in it.

 

thanks for the info!

 

i did a side by side comparision of steel wool vs 2000 grit, 2000 gave a better shine. So use the 2000.

 

wetsand make sure its wet i did a center cap much better shine to it

 

Which did you apply 3 times?



Heres mine wet sanded with 2000, went over with mothers Alum polish one time very lightly, and buffed off with a towel. I noticed the harder I rubbed on the aluminum polish, the more hazzy and cloudy it got.

 

what kinda motion did u do on that ac back and forth or in circles with the paper? looks good man

 

Sanded in circles, did the aluminum polish in circles, and buffed off in circles.

 

looking good!!

 

Here's what state mine is in. It still needs a little more work though.
