Hey everyone!
Just thought I would share this little project I did for a customer - polishing a header.
This header was in horrible shape. I tried 1000 grit first, and it did nothing. These results were mirrored with 800 grit as well. I ended up having to start with 220 grit because there was some deep pitting that was not coming out with higher grits.
Anyways, after many, many, many, many hours sanding, and a few hours of polishing, here's what I was able to achieve. It is not perfect by any means but definitely looks a lot better than before.
Process:
Wetsand with 220, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000
Compound with M105 on PC @ speed 6 with yellow pad and lots of pressure
Tight areas done with Mother's power ball on Bosch 18v drill with M105
P21S Finish restorer by hand
TW Platinum Series metal polish by hand
Sealed with KSG
I'm going to be polishing a set of rims soon for my personal vehicle and will post those up too!
Thanks for looking!!
