Polishing :) im at the stage where i have a lot of polishing to do and starting with the cam covers . They are not that bad but seem to be slightly ingrained with dirt , Ive used solvo and maguires metal polish but it seems the only wat to get the real shine to come through is to wet and dry it then polish up a mirror finnish with a polishing kit ive got :?:

Loads of work but its worth it in the end :)

When I polish,i give things a clean with mr muscle,this seems to even strip anodising off!! Then out with the mops. I used to spend ages with various grades of wet and dry,wearing my fingers down,but would now suggest get the correct gear and do it yourself,you'll get loads of satisfaction,and a very dirty face.
