Thread: Gen V I polished

This is the second blower I've polished and it turned out great.

Hey can you pm me how long that took and what special method you use??.. That look amazing man

How much you charge?

I started with some sanding rolls and a die grinder to knock down some of the casting on the blower. Next bought some greaseless compound from Eastwood. I bought the 4pk kit that came with 80,120,220 and 320 grit. To get in all the tight corners I used a dremel with sanding drums. I took a 1/8 drill bit and cut a notch down the center of it to use in my dremel. Then I cut some 320 & 600 grit sand paper into small pieces and wrapped them around my modded drill bit to finish off the tight areas. Next I wet sanded the entire thing with 600 & 1000 grit to get things smoothed out. Now comes the part that makes you smile. There are 3 different compounds I used for the polishing. Some people say not to use the black compound but I did and had good results. After the black I cleaned the sc off with brake parts cleaner and then polished with the brown compound. I was using my dremel with a flex shaft and polishing wheel to get in the tight spots and I used my Dewalt
drill with a polishing wheel to do everything else. Make sure you use a new wheel with a different compound. Next I used the white compound with a softer wheel. The final step was a Mothers power ball and Mothers aluminum liquid polish.

That's a quick write up of the polishing process. SC are a real time consuming piece to polish because of all the corner, curves, ect. If you plan I doing this yourself make sure you have enough time and patience.

Seeing as I have a spare blower sitting on a self in the garage might aswell try polishing it And building my patients level for such things

When i swapped the old one for the one that in my car now i just hit it with a paint stripping wheel to knock the oxidation off and that seemed like a lot of work lol

looks mint. if i had an extra blower, and a polishing wheel i would do this.

wanna do mine?

damn thats sweet!
