first i tested from the bottom. i used dremel and some metal polishing compound. it got rid of the scratches but i would like it to be mirror like. what kind of compound should i use for titamium? i know others use mothers polishing compund for aluminums. any suggestions?

 

damn, u mest it up

 

Dude, that thing is messed.

 

it will be okay... bump for ideas

 

Get a buffing wheel if possible, attach the shift **** to a long bolt or whatever and go to town. Home depot is your friend!

Dremel may work with the right attachments. I did my entire valve cover back in the day with some sandpaper, and some different buffing wheels.

 

damn!

 

somebody help

LOL!

 

Dont worry you can make it real shiny. My buddy has this stuff he always uses. Ill ask what it is and let you know.

 

was it getting hot?

titanium tends to heat up wat to quick and for to long. if your using a dremel just don't let the metal heat up.... that is what is making it fog up.

a polishing cloth that they use to polish silver would work nicely.

 

thanks for the advice. looks like i might end up making it all chrome..

 

you dont just put polish on it and its all of a sudden its like a mirror, theres a whole sanding/wet sanding process (a long one at that) to go through. You may have known that but since you didnt include it anywhere, I figured you didn't do it.
