Wazz72 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 How much did you spend on polish? From the pics before It looked like it needed dipping in ACID. Youve done a good Job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Very nice mate but I thought most nights you gave your Nur Spec a good hard polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 that took about an hour.. he's an attention seeker..pay him no attention..LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Yup, Daves right! http://profilejewels.net/grafix/specialties/General/attention_whore3.jpg Took me a couple of hours tbh. Just used a polish similar to Autosol (sp) called 'peek' or something, cost just a few quid. My house mate brought a mop over so i went into power tool mode. The main piping came up well too but i coudlnt be arsed to do that bit I wish i had the snaps of what it looked like before so i could show the change. Gonna try and get it put on tomorrow. Project subtle is no longer going to be subtle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Gotta love Supra nuts .... exhausts on nice clean house carpets lol I still live with family and no way would that be allowed here lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 cool, how did you get it that clean ? i used brasso and a cloth on my HKS super dragger whitch probably isnt the best thing to use was thing of sticking some cloth to my orbital sanders face and trying to do it that way but i am probably going to knack it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Just found on the webinter; http://www.peekpolish.com/ I found brasso to be useless Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 it worked a little bit but it was probibly just removeing top dirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 You need polishing mops really to shift hardcore crap. That said I used the kit I bought from ebay to polish up my inlet manifold and a set of Uk brake calipers (cast iron btw and a total bastard) and they came up an absolute treat. You can apparently use them to polish up stainless sinks and everything huh wtf??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 i wonder if i can find some of that over here in Germany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 so what exactly am i looking for apart from that peek stuff power tool wise ? ive got an orbital sander would that do any good ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 You need a polishing head. Same kind that you polish paint with, well, thats what i used any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 if my misses caught me with an exhaust on the front room carpet i would be dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Great job mate, looks really good. But you really only should have just done the end where it says Nur as no ones gonna see the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 ..................and you put it on your living room carpet too. If I did that then the missus would kill me; simple as that! You've done a cracking job though;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 wow well done Daman that looks like a pro job! need to do it to mine too as its a few years old now. Can you give me more details on your technique / products used? Ta Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markymark Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Looking good Damon, now I will let you do mine:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 The house is rented, hence why its on the livingroom floor Matt - One mop with a polishing head + half a tube of peek. Smear peek over the parts you want to bring up and then fire up the mop and rub the peek off. That easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
