It takes many hours of sanding and buffing. just call Garfinkles son he is doing alot of polishing and making custom alum pullys. 615-893-4469

 

Man those Garfinkles are doing everthing

I Just had my UIM ceramic coated, but I didn't send the TB. Do you think the TB would be easy to do with just that polish mentioned above?

 

Calling BS on the dremel method and the degreaser method...

Like an above post said...MANY hours of sanding with different grits of sand paper, starting from 80 and working your way up to 400 grit...Then take it to a grinder with a buffing wheel and white rouge and you are on you way to Holy Blingness


HEED THE BLING

 

I used my dremel to sand it down. I went through LOTS of those little disks. PITA to change em out each time, but it worked. Then I bought a 4" polishing/buffing wheel and attached it to a drill and used "White rouge" metal polish. Took about 3 days, spending about 4 hours each day. The drill gives you the torqe to really get it shiny. I've actually polished two sets, and sold one on Ebay for $300.00

They came out good, but not as good as TTT work. He's got pros working on his stuff.

I've been up to 2000 grit wet-sanding, and it still gives a lot of scratches.... It is just really really REALLY hard to reach all the corners/crevaces. I use a dremel to do some basic sanding, but power tools will like to eat little chunks of the aluminum, so hand-sanding is still the best.... not to mention they don't have all the needed attachments.
Working on a valve cover for a friend, I sanded off my fingerprints trying to get the paper into the little grooves

 

So, then, you take the IM off? Or do it with it on? Probably take it off...I'm stupid

 

UIM Off. Buy a spare UIM/TB. That way you can take your time polishing it, with no down time. When you're doen swap em.
