Have a quick polishing question...

I have my runners done, and man did they come out great!


I am currently on the plenum and distributor cover. They are obviously flat compared to the runners. When I sand, should I sand in one direction or in circles?



Thanks

I would sand only in one direction. Sanding in circles could cause it to have a "swirl" appearence when you polish it......stick with going in one direction....
