are there ne write ups or ideas on how to restore teh fstb's bling bling?

 

take it off, spray with brake parts cleaner and use a rag to get all the crap off, use an old toothbrush to clean the small areas. Hose it down with water, wipe it dry with another towel. Now use some Eagle1 or Mothers or any of those Aluminum polish things. I think the one I have is the Eagle1, it's a chrome/black smal bottle with what seems to be unprocessed cotton inside. They got em at Discount. Anyways, use that on the strut bar, wait a minute, then wipe it down with a dry cloth... You're done!

 

hey, i know you, i think ur name is eddie and you ahve the scraing metal guard under ur car, which by the way according to nissan is a heat shielf between the y-pipe and oil pan.

 

lol, mothers aluminum polish worked wonders on my A/C lines, a little elbow grease and they come out BLING. :d

 

+1 for mothers except tower bars usually are steel.

 

Come again? My old cheapo Courtesy bar was alumin. And my 5gen fstb from Otto is also alumin. The end brackets are steel however.

 

Any brand of aluminum/metal polish will work. If you don't like using elbow grease, get a polishing wheel for your electric drill and try that. Shiny metal in seconds.

 

I need some of that mothers too, mine is all white

 

Well the one I got from the sh!tty company(CM) is steel. Really though, it makes since to have these made of steel due to Aluminum's flexy properties.

 

i guess luke and myself have a project this weekend, instead of polishing it, i think ima go with sanding it and painting it ceramic black.

 

Eagle One has a good product that works well also.

 

I was able to get it clean again, but I dont remember what product I was using..:shrug:

 

i thought u said ernie had some crap he used.

 

mothers mag & aluminum polish, I just did my a/c lines.. Wow.

 

Yeah, the AC lines are like butter; so soft. Mothers is working well so far on my blower.

 

I think the polishing stuff I use (in a silver can) is eagle one. Works pretty good.

 

Yep - that's the one.

 

Mike .. has some polish, but his in BFE or in Orlando

 

MOTHERS U QUEEEEER!!!!!! $5 at autozone... lol

 

quiet rice boy..

 

lies, ur just jealous because ur engine is the color of a dirty rock
