So, I just wasn't happy with the polishing results that I achieved the other day when I was cleaning up my motor. I know part of the problem was that I just used regular rubbing compound to polish the metal instead of actual metal polish. The other problem was that the metal is 55 years old and it's been at least 15 years of storage since that metal has had a good polishing. So while at work yesterday I was looking at the different types of metal polish we have. Then I noticed a Brand New Meguiars product. Meguiars Medium-Cut Metal Polish
So, I bought a tube and brought it home and went straight to the garage after work. I fired up the heater and pull all my lower controls off, again, and started going to town with my 3" high speed buffer. A couple hours later, and I was rather impressed at how well the polish did. Again, not perfect, but the covers look great. I
ALMOST have that mirror like shine, and the transmission cover, above all else, looks a 100 times better. I am very happy with this product and the results speak for themselves. The pics aren't the best because I took them inside of my garage in the middle of a snow storm, but I'll take some better ones when the weather clears up again. Scottie
