valve cover polish

[boostmaster123]

what did you valve cover polishing guys use to get in between all of the little crevaces between the letters and such when you were polishing your valve covers. i cant find anything that would work well, and sandpaper is a pain.

get a dremel and some attachments

You're finding out why polishing costs so much. Have you seen the "chrome" powder coating? It's pretty amazing looking, and very durable from all I've heard.

I need to get mine powder coated. I didn't know they had chrome. Does it cost more than regular colors??

I got mine polished and I think looks hella better then getting it powder coated but thats MO...

alright well i got a dremel but every bit that i have eats right into the valve cover. should i use a wire brush attachment or something softer?

Um... yeah, you're polishing it, not GRINDING it. Check a big hardware store for Cratex, they're erasers with grit in them. Then go to the cotton wheel, and the cotton buffer. Be careful with the cotton buffer, don't use it hard enough to jab the metal with the steel holder.
