So I just bought this for my car

because it was cheaper than buying this one

They are both stainless steel, only the second one is polished to a mirror shine.



How can I achieve this? DACP using the PC?



Thanks!

metal polish? is there a specific polish that's available? Mothers? Meguiars? Etc?



I have a 5" wool pad. . .too big?
 
to polish aluminum, depending on the shape it is in you want to start with sanding paper and a block. sand up to 1500 grit each time making sure you remove the sanding marks left from the prior grit. after you done wet sanding, move on to the metal polishing compounds, ie tripoli, white. caswell has some pretty decent kits and also a handbook that will walk you through it. if you google "how to polish aluminum" you should find a lot of stuff.
 
that is stainless not Aluminum stainless is much harder to polish then Aluminum go to jacksonlea.com they are the world leader in plishing meatals I wooldn't recomend using sandpaper
 
Hmm that site looks awfully interesting for the answer to polishing my mid stainless steel exhaust pipe .I have no idea which product: liquid(?) to use with the PC or rotary, of if not how to polish using one of those sticks :confused:

It's for a MR2. It's a pair of puller fans. . .given the mid engine design of the MR2, heating can be a bit of a problem. These fans can lower engine tempatures by 20 degrees or so.
 
yah. . .I'm swapping the 135 HP NA motor for a 225 HP JDM Turbo motor, it's gonna produce a little extra heat. . .
