Metal Polishing 1st Gen Miata

[SpoiledMan]

I'm looking for tips on polishing the differential on a 1st generation Miata. Any tips?

Tip 1: why bother?

Tip 2: Lower it....go racing

Tip 3: if you must do it get a cloth polishing wheel and go old school on it, i just took a wire brush to mine to knock off some corrosion and it looked fine.

Thanks for the response. It's not my car so this is in response to a request for it to be done. I think I'll go for #3.

My guess would be a wool ball/pad on the rotary would work.

Find a custom bike shop, take it off and give it to them to do.

wool pads via rotary, optimum metal polish is good, I also like Zephyr Pro 40 via wool. Its very dirty work, took a while to get all the black off my hands....it just kept coming off

You didn't wear gloves?



I'd put on a set of dishwashing gloves for a job like this.

Real men dont wear gloves. We go to the grave with hands of steel

It's totally off topic, but I've always wondered where the pic in your avatar came from?
