Polishing Fuch's, the easy way Options

[76-914]

Yesterday I set out to polish the Fuch's on my '73 which is fairly easy since they are fully polished and I do them once a year. I had been putting off polishing the Fuch's on my '76 because only the raised petals are polished and I had convinced myself this would be a miserable job. But since I'm in fixing her up to sell I knew they would need to be done at some point and the weather was cool enough for the toil to come. They hadn't been touched in 10+ years and didn't look too badly from a distance.



But up close........not so nice.





As it turned out I needed only to mask off the outer rim where the polished edge meets the unpolished edge. Some cheap HF electrical take was perfect for the job.






This is about 5 minutes work using Mothers polish and this little 2" DA. Another minute to wipe off with a clean cotton cloth. Very little blackened residue gets on the unpolished surface. And what little does can be quickly cleaned up with some LA Awesome cleaner. I suppose Simple Green would work also.





Finished product.......about 30 minutes total time. There are 2 more but they all look the same and I think this hard drive is about to die!
