I was wanting to polish some piping, my turbo ect. How do I go about this? Is there a guide anywhere?

 

You might want to pm Rotor-Rooter because he is now the master of transforming things to the BLING BLING status. Goodluck!

if youre going to do the piping, why not have it ceramic coated or whatever with the chrome stuff? looks shiny and also has better heat dissipation, leading to lover temps under the hood.

 

Here are a few tips:
1) Knuckles will never polish matter how hard you accidentally push them into the buffer wheel. They will never blilng

2) Elbow and grinding wheels should not share the same space at the same time.

3) Having fingerprints sanded off would only be cool in the movie "Se7en", but I think that has more to do with Kevin Spacey's delivery than said concept.

4) Coughing up aluminum dust stops being neat after exactly 1/2 a second.

G'luck. If you do a search in the "interior/exterior" section, you'll find more useful tips such as mine

 

aslong as what you want to polish is already smooth then go get your self some neverdull from pepboys or any other auto store.all that it is is cotton treated w\ chemicals, what you do is pull off a small piece and start rubbing when it dries buff to a shine

 

start sanding, and when you think it's smooth enough, sand for another hour or so......oh yeah, coughing up the aluminum dust does suck major ***........then polish away and put on some shades cause it's bling time....it took me like 4 hours to sand my intercooler then like 3 to polish it.....i would send it to someone to get it done next time....

 

I'm in the process of moving into a new house and I'm not working much right now. I would be willing to polish your parts for you since I have several days off at a time during my normal schedules. PM me and we'll talk about it if you're interested. There are some pictures of some parts I've polished in the 3rd Gen section from a few weeks ago. I believe Scrub started a thread.

 

Here is a site where I got some good info.

I actually have experience with #4...this **** is hard on your body, man! I polished a cross over pipe and 4 intercooler pipes...probably a total of about 12 hours work...Well, up till 3 weeks after I would blow my nose, I had aluminum dust comin out...took a good 6 weeks before I was back to normal again. Really harsh but the results are AMAZING.

I know how to polish and have learned it's hard work if you have lots of stuff to do...Is it worth it? Personally I say no...I think for my LIM and alternator I am going to have someone else coughing up my aluminum dust.

More photos in sig if interested.

You know it's all in the lighting...But fun, joke, and competition aside...There aint no way I am doing this stuff over again...I am going to pay FD3Boost to blow aluminum dust out his nose.

 

LOL, Those are the old pics man Not to mention the dozens that I have done for customers..

 

 

So basically what you are saying is, you have an immunity to aluminum dust?

 

 

Actually it does give me bad headachs and makes my eyes burn, but i just love when I final polish a piece and it turns into a mirror, it makes it worth all the black boogers

 

Ooh goodness Fd3BOOST...those pics are amazing, you must have a strong right arm I polished my 2ndary Turbo Inlet Pipe for fun and yeah I know what you mean by black boogers haha, anyways...That last pic there ^...absolutely delicious. Oh, and whenever Apneablue gets a chance to whip out his engine bay pics it's on

Looking good guys
