Polishing air filter assembly on old V8.

[KLP 92]

Purchased one of these kits from http://www.perfectpolishingkits.co.uk/ :

Decided that the air filter assembly could do with a bit of a clean but couldn't get rid of the milky layer:

Well after an hour it now looks like this

Nice... Are you going to lacquer it or just leave it as is?

Damn hard work polishing and messy too.

 

[KLP 92]

Nah, will just leave it as it is. Will clean it every now and again with Autosol metal polish.

Not really hard, but time consuming and as you said, messy!

did you check the price of a new one?

 

[KLP 92]

Would have been more than £20! And i needed the polishing kit for another project....

 

[lotusmark2]

another couple of hours on it and it will really shine!

HaHa only kiding mate, looks really good mate

KLP92,

Love the results.....I need to do exactly the same thing to my M117 engine and I was getting nowhere with Autosol !!!!

Cheers

And the chap with me was fellow forum member aka$h.

You were in a mint looking green CL if my memory serves me correct, with a p/plate designating your model code followed my MB (i have a great memory)? You should have said something!
