xyber 1 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I dont know it's been giving me a hard time lately and keeping it clean and shiney is tough going.Anyone got any suggestions for good polishing stuff???Ive just polished the logo on my schrick with a 3m block, 2000grit wet and dry with autosol on it, came up nearly mirrored, just got to finish it with the 3-step stuff i use on my wheelsget it polished and then give a go over with autoglym EGP to seal and even wax, they wont last as long as normal due to the heat, but stop it oxidising as fast Link to post Share on other sites

So bascically the samco's have been cut and joined with connecters!I think you can get samco to custom make them and thats fine if you have the money to do that Ive just polished the logo on my schrick with a 3m block, 2000grit wet and dry with autosol on it, came up nearly mirrored, just got to finish it with the 3-step stuff i use on my wheelsget it polished and then give a go over with autoglym EGP to seal and even wax, they wont last as long as normal due to the heat, but stop it oxidising as fastThanks for the tips there how did you get on with the 1/4 mile at inters claire? jerry perform ok?Umm Jerry got on well its the driver who didn't. I couldn't launch him for toffee! I may as well stick this link up as Dave has embarissingly spammed it on some other forums........Here's me doing a red arrows impression off the line!!!! I now need two front tyres!!http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c242/G60dave/th_Dragging.jpgOnly ran a dissapointing 16.5 in the end. If I can work out how to launch that car and get tracktion It'll be good for a easy 15 second run! (6) Link to post Share on other sites
