Any hope for these valve covers?
« on: August 05, 2015, 07:36:26 PM »
What's the best way to make these shine again? Buy new ones? Bench top polisher? And what products. Thanks!

Those can be polished to look like chrome.

yeah a good cleaning.  degreaser. then have at with a benchtop polisher with various grit compound.  should look nice when done.  if theyve been polished before, process should go quicker this time around.
