Polished fuel rail guard

[Pete.]

Finished polishing my fuel rail guard today after losing interest and fingerprints a couple of months ago. Just need to finish the plenum and then get the engine cover back from the painter.

Certainly wouldn't recommend this to anyone to try doing this themselves if they haven't got several hours to spare and hard fingertips.

I paid £75 for both doing. The finish on the intricacies isn't brilliant but it doesn't half shine.

what did you do to polish the guard i started doin mine but gave up because of fine scratches

 

[Pete.]

Started with 400 grit wet and dry, then 800 grit and final of 1200 grit to get round of small scratches and then final wet 1200. All of these were by hand. Then polished with dremel with polishing attachment and rubbing compound. Final polish with solvol autosol. I guess it took about 4 hours.
