i first was going to write up a "How-to" on polishing a valve cover and i thought if you didnt know how to do that your a idiot..anyways.. before picture : after pictures: picture really can't tell the final look, looks better to me..
anyways i have a question too, how do you get these black rings out, they are a B*TCH!! and the car that changed history

granada_sun

its not very difficult, just time consuming....but there ya go dude little polish thatll be pimp

Honestly if you can't get those rubber rings out, you'd have to be the idiot...


Also to be honest. the before and after pix look the same. You forget to polish or something?

looks okay. keep on polishing it for shinier results. when ever you get those gaskets off, change them since they are stiff.

looks like you don't know how to really do it either idiot.

NonovUrbizniz

yeah I don't know... it kinda just looks like you hit it with a air grinder and a zippy... and too fast in spots at that (hence the yellow/rainbowing)... and then didn't ever polish it...

Would you like me to post a how to so you can do it?

viprcr1

please.. and can you believe he has the nerve to say that if you didn't know how to do it than your an idiot. jeez the people today.

Can't tell the difference. Probably good you don't write an "how-to"

hey just keep polishing ok, my good friend did his b series valve cover and just kept polishing it and adding lots of compound and his came out great matter a fact you can polish a valve cover so well that it will look chrome almost. thats when u know you have out done your self

what kind of camera did u use

tangb2023

to get the rings off, use smallest flathead.. and what did u polish it with.. sand it first with 500 grit first then use a polish and buff it.. i rather strip it with paint stripper and paint with bling color.. it looks cleaner

hahagasdcrx

to polish you should start wetsanding with like 340 to 500 grit to get through all the pores in the metal. When everything is smooth then go to a 1000 grit wet sand till you get all the scratches from the 500 grit away, then use a 1500 or 2000 grit to get it really smooth then use white rouge polish with a medium buffing pad to get it to shine. After all that use some metal polish or a little bit of wax to get the (chrome look you want and to protect it).


Pics of polishing above cam part of valve cover i did in the last 20 minutes
