Who can polish my manifold ?

[B7D VR 35]

Hey guys, as my cars parked up for winter I wanted to take the manifold and get it polished, any idea on who does this or anyone you know ? I'm from Luton but don't mind dropping it off. Not too far tho

Thanks

Don't fancy putting in some elbow grease yourself?

You can buy polishing kits off eBay that you attach to your drill and polish it that way. It's a million times easier than doing it by hand with wet and dry and wd40

I got a flap sanding wheel for mine, an 80 git, attached to a drill take off texture, hot knife through butter.

Then used wet and dry down to 3,500 grit and then used my polishing mops I got from frost.

Turned out ok!

Of course, I'd always advise taking off the car first as it's 100x easier.

I also had my manifold vapour blasted along with other engine bay items to give the rest of the manifold a good finish...

Hmmm yours looks awesome

A sanding block for a start. Otherwise you'll have ridges, never finger sand.

For the price you can get a drill and kit for why not just do that and save yourself the aggravation and effort? Especially if you were gonna pay someone anyway?

I totally agree. A decent power drill and a mop kit off eBay will do the trick nicely mate

A rubber block, some WD40 and various grades of sandpaper cost nowhere near as much as a drill and a sanding kit.

[Ickyketseddie 89]

No one said it did, I just said it doesn't cost much. How'd you go through life without a drill anyway?

Every man should own a drill and hammer and possibly some cable ties lol

Where's gaffer tape and grinder? Those with a drill hammer and cable ties you can fix anything!

I agree with Lukey you've gotta have gaffer tape in you essential collection. Anything's possible with those basic tools. You could even do a A-team grab a cardboard box and make a tank that'll withstand nuclear missiles out of it with your essentials lol
