Anyone Have a UIM, LIM, ect. They Wanna Let Me Borrow?
Anything I can polish. Anyone got any that they don't need right away? I wanna do some polishing, but I can't use the sutff from my car. Polishing takes and while and I gotta drive my car everyday.
I'll give it back when I'm done.

Nah, I was gonna polish the one you sent me. Then put it on my car, they polish mine. Put mine back on my car and send yours back.
So basically you get a free polish for letting me use your UIM.
I don't have a bench top buffer though. I have one of those orbital buffers.
Think I can use those?

There is alot of time involved in polishing. My mechanics son is doing it for customers. if you do it with a orbital tool you are not doing the best job and the hand finishing will take you so long. If you do it correctly I can get all you want to do for free. The uim alone takes 15 plus hours for a good job . Gars son is hand sanding, machine sanding, sand blasting and has a large fast buffing stand 5 hp and a bench top buffer. If you can do as good as him I can get you the parts to borrow but after you learn to do it right and buy the tools and cloth wheels and compound sand paper ect then you will not be willing to finish your deal and be happy about it .

i have my UIM, LIM, and turbo off... 2weeks before my gasket arrives... but the real problem is... check my LOCATION!! hahaha... i am polishing it but didnt have the time to do it... so much work and so little time...

A professional place can do it for about ~$70 around here. Since i'm trying to tackle it myself, it's gonna take at least 30 good hrs and still not end up as nice. It all comes down to what your time is worth to you, basically...
