I want to get these to the best they can look while keeping them on the car do to do the job. No refinishing, no Easy-off, just clean and the paddles as shiny as possible. Which cleaner/soap first? Then Mothers? Mini-ball on a drill? Search induces confusion.... Man those look clean! my bad boys not even close. |

Mothers is fine but you'll need to mask off the petals that aren't polished or the grey matter that comes off while polishing will get on the rough finish and is a PITA to get off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I'd recommend Simichrome polish. I've used it for years on my Fuchs, chrome bumpers and metal work.

@oldschool - they do look clean. from there. they have a little grime/light staining that you can't see until you look closer. (Local 600, eh? I'm a NABET/IBEW DP...) @76-914 - good tip on the masking - thanks. @PeeGreen 914 - I'll check it out - thank you! Nice I can use more work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) |
