I polish the silencers with my buffing machines, and just semi-chrome the head pipes.

What type of machine do you use Kiel? You don't have to tell me what exactly it is if you don't want to give away your secrets. But Like I've thought about polishing my silencers (304 Pro Circuits), can it be done with fine sand paper, a buff ball and some Mothers or something along those lines?

Kiel (theshee) does everything for me from polishing to paint. He's the bomb.com

 

Maybe some of us aren't so lucky to have someone like himself in Canada :sad: :laugh:

I hit mine with the polisher once. now i just use never dull and mguires(however you spell it) billet polish. yes both... at the same time.i dip the never dull in the billet polish . it works like a charm.

Dinner- I use a 2.5 HP 3400 RPM machine for most of the stuff like that. You can use sand paper like you are saying, but you wont quite get the results of the CPIs i posted. Those went through the whole 9 yards of polishing. However, if you do it like you are saying they will look pretty good.

Oh right on, I didn't think I would get them looking as good as yours, but anything is better than what they look like now :laugh:

 

Do you recommend a certain fine of sand paper? Like 2000 Wet or something?

I got black lead pipes so i just polish the silecers, bumpers, and rims with an old wool sock and some mothers (and the powerball for the rims) then wipe the black residue off with a towel.
