Default DIY polish Neuspeed Strut Bar!

I just got a Neuspeed 4 PT. Strut Brace for a price, too good to pass up. Only problem is it's black and I wanted a lil more bling in my engine. So I wanted to know how I would go about getting a polish finish out of it if that is even possible? Let me know if you have any ideas.

Use aircraft paint stripper (wal-mizzy $5.49). Use some sort of aluminum polish such as Meguiars or I personally use lightning shine (black and purple bottle). Get out a big can of elbow grease and your good to go.

Hope it helps.

I MAY be wrong here, but isn't the Neuspeed bar steel and not aluminum?

If it's steel, don't polish it. If you aren't sure, check with a magnet. If it sticks, leave it alone.

HTH.
