Cheers matey :D just debating if i should do the manifold heat covers now, but think they will look better being black to be a bit of a contrast against the polished bits?

@ Micromarc, they fit to the engine mate

@ Stav might be up for an alternator mate if it does come to that? :D

[micromarc]

Nice one mate, it gets a bit addictive after you've done a couple of things, but i was supprised at how easy it is to do :D Just remember to wear the mask and some safety glasses mate as you do get bits of polishing pad and paste flicking up now and again :) Look forward to your work :)

Ahh yes maybe you dont want to go over bling or leave something to do next week lol.. But I'd be intrested to see how it comes out as was looking to paint my this weekend as others have. It's 10yrs old, very dirty and horrible, the polish could look great for awhile.. :D

Question Chris, is the Manifold cover stainless steel? I'm such a noob hehe, so would my Autoglym stuff just clean it up or do I have to maybe use tools like yourself to get the shine first, I read the guide you linked to it was very intresting stuff and all looks really good.

There just laquered steel mate, you have to sand them down to metal first, like in the guide to take them back to the basic finish, then use the pastes to polish them up? I did a 4 stage polish on these ones after the sanding down using 3 different polishing pastes then a top coat of metal polish to make them shine a bit B) You could probably do it with the metal polish and a drill with a hard/medium buffing wheel attached, but might take a bit of time to get to the same finish? :)
