Wow!! I can't believe how nice that looks. It almost inspires me to do the same... almost. I just don't have the time to spend on that right now. Too many other higher priority jobs waiting around the house.

Yeah they do take quite a bit of time. Totally worth it though if you get the chance. Kind of an odd job if you ask me. Just sanding away with soo many grits and you don't start to see much reflection until about 800-1000 grit. First few hours are kind of depressing haha! I kept thinking, am I seriously trying to polish these???? I could just paint and throw 'em on but then those last few go so quick and once you use some Polish, you finally see what all that work was for!

Thanks man!

Had quite a few people at the cruise in ask me how much I charge to polish once they found out it was all hand done by me haha! Most thought it was just bought that way

May have to do that

Started on a little project I've wanted to do since I first started polishing.. yes that is my friends reflection in the front sub-frame that was at the time only polished up to 1000 grit


Just had to get it done for car show that starts in 8 hours

Just incase you guys are wondering why so much polishing, this is the main reason. I didn't want it to be the only thing polished in my engine bay so I'm trying to get a few more things done to make it truly a daily driven show car before the power is up-ed!
