I never knew untill I looked at this picture below that I could polish my Behr radiator and have it look so bling bling. It took so long but well worth it. I even decided to polish my power steering cap, coolant cap, and strut towers. Looks so much better! I'm working on revamping my engine bay, like polishing my Carlsson valve cover, new hood pad, painting my exhaust header, and adding a cold air chrome intake. Full engine pics when done. Later, Scott

I recommend a cordless Dremel tool with a buffer attachment...

...unless you're "Wanker of The Year," with a Popeye-sized forearm!

I tried that (the Dremel, not the wanking) on my Brabus muffler (i want it to look like those Arospeed mufflers, all shiny and stuff)... sanded off the paint and tried polishing with the abrasive buffers, as well as the polishing buffers with Dremel polishing compund. Got the paint off, but the shine is hardly there... am I missing something or just not trying hard enough?

Wow, that's different, a Brabus product owner that wants the Aerospeed look. :P
