you use a buffer and polish, or your hand a towel and polish. I thought dsm bov's were plastic?

speaking of that. i just did mine today, it was a pain in the ass.
ok. so first i glass beaded the entire thing to get all the crap off. (if you cant do that, have fun sanding with 80 grit) then i used 180 grit all over it, then 280 then 400 then 600. put a spiral sewn buffing wheel on my angle grinder, and put some black wax on the buffing wheel and pressed dam hard, then i brought out the shine with a muslin non-spiral sewn wheel. good luck, also remember the top part is steel, it will rust bloody fast keep it dry and warm!! |
