    Default Polishing engine covers

    hey guys and girls...
    I want to polish my engine covers on my vs clubby and was wondering what the best option would be...
    get some stuff from autobarn? and do it myself
    or send it off to someone and they can do it...

    if the first one what stuff would i need, i no ya need a buffing wheel for a grinder...

    any help would be much appreciated
    cheers troy

    you will need to sand or paint strip off the coating first, clean up what ever mess that made, then polish it up

    Get a good polishing compound and take it slow
    Fast = heat = Bad
