polishing the tops and sides of pistons?
Im cleaning up my p30's while they're out and so far I've got all the surface **** off of the tops by using Super Fine steel whool and brake cleaner. I was just going to get the rest off and polish the top with a really soft wire wheel on a dremel and then just simply use a rag on the sides with some mothers aluminum polish. I wanna get them pretty shiny...is there anything wrong with doing anything of this? will the polish hurt the sides or ruin it or anything and will using a wire wheel on top take off material of the piston??? I don't want to risk ******* anything up so I thought I'd ask you guys. I need some answers ASAP though.

nah... just dont f'ing shave the hell out of it.... lol... this is all commen sense crap... make sure when you do this to like cover up the surroundings where the collant runs around the cylinder walls just in case crap doesn't gets into there while your shining up your pistons...

alright, thanks bro. Im going to hit the tops with a small soft wire wheel and then some mothers then. I don't have the worry about the walls cause the pistons aren't in the block right now.

they sell the engine top cleaner in honda, they remove most of build up in my piston.
