    Alloy polishing

    just a short thread.
    I thought i would have a go at some alloy polishing ive never done it before so all was new to me.
    to start off i grinded the volvo writting using a angle grinder & grinding disc, then i sanded back using a DA and sandpaper from 80grit-2000 wet & dry.
    i then began polishing starting with some g3 cutting compound then using autosol metal polish.
    im not yet completly finished just got to tidy up the hard to get at edges, heres some pics.
