Well, today I decided to start polishing my valve cover and timing chain cover. At the moment I am working on the parts I can actually get too without removign hoses, wires, etc. This weekend I will start to remove stuff out of the way since I do not have to leave for work those days . Anyways, I used a 120 grit sand wheel to start with to help speed the process up of getting the hard core junk off the top and sides. Next I used some 400 grit wet/sand paper and started sanding that down. I am now on 600 grit. That was a short burst of 600 grit that I just did and a little polishing right now. I will do more 600 grit and go up to 800-1200 grit eventually. I need to go pickup some more sand paper though . Anyways. Just showing you how its going. Also I won't be doing it day after day, some days I might skip! It's hot here, 95-105 degrees, so it isn't fun!

Here are some pics so far...

Sorry that I don't have a 5th gen cover around. If I get bore one day, I'll track one down.

 

Yea I know.. I got a LONG way to go... lol

 

Just be careful of the heavy grits, they'll tend to take off more than you want! You might not notice it now but when you finish polishing It'll look rippled! BTW I polished my CBR!
