Its not so much the billet that sucks as it is the stuff around it. Its hard to polish stuff without banging your hands up on everything else.

i'd use the mothers polish ball and the mothers billet aluminum paste in those little tubs, remember a little goes a LONG ways on the polish *****. they also make a smaller one which i've purchased that fits in an electric power drill.

i have a bunch of polishing to do as well, although no where near as much as you. good luck, and I look forward to seeing you again this year.

Hey Shawn, glad to hear you're coming up for the 'fest. I'll have the car there this year. Hopefully under it's own power.

if not under it's own power, under the power of my suburban on a trailer. i think i decided that silver trailers go best with blue cars like we own kev.
