No... This is more of a non-technical type deal... Gallery is for pics of non-tech type stuff...

Brillo pads are more coarse than what I was using...

I love my beauty rings... I've rocked these of 4 different sets of steelies and 3 different cars/truck... I thought I may have to get a new set... Good thing they came out better than expected and good they only run me like 40 bux shipped...

Well, I could atleast try it on my upper IC pipe... Its already fucked up anyways... Plus most of the aluminum stuff on Hondas has that rough cast texture to it so you really wouldn't be able to tell... May look pretty good... I'll just have to see and find out... It can't look any worse than it does... All the aluminum in my engine bay is oxidized like hell...

well if anything get a gray scotch brite pad and use some water and wrap the pad and you hand around the pipe and do like a back and forth motion on it....will give it a machined look...

will look good if you do it all...

i was slightly vague.

Duane is right. the wool will give you a flat-matte dulled finish(brushed)It will make the surface very uniform.

high grit paper and tonnns of time = polished = whole body pain lol
