My Aching hands.... Polishing

I had this great idea of polising my aluminum stuff..... Manifold etc. i started on my y-pipe and crossover... I can barely type this message. LOL

Anyone on here still doing polishing or know of someone who is?


I'm in San Diego and would like someone local but if not that's ok too. I did some searching last week and PM'd a few folks who said they knew somebody but no responses.

Thanks,

A lot of Harley-Davidson shops do polish work. If you can't find anyone to polish for you, you might wanna go to some of your local Harley-Davidson dealers and ask them.

rex, i am going from cast to mirror polish... a buffing wheel isn't gonna cut it... i have a drill, table mounted grinder, dremel and sand paper i have been using... it's just a pain.. and that much vibration in your hands kills them. Thanks for your pearl of wisdom... but not gonna help me. LOL
