new idea for polishing fins

[McLovin]

Good idea Eric. Would bet the hell out of pimp sticks:2thumbs:

I tried to order the pimp stix but the order didn't go through so the owner sent me several smart-ass emails and said he didn't care if he got my business or not. I couldn't beleive it, the guy acted like a total jerk. I finally had to tell him to fuכk off...

I got my sticks on amazon. It was cheaper and free shipping.

okay Eric, So where did you find the extension rod to fit the drill and the cleaning tip? I have looked all over and no luck.

 

[T.Byrd]

Good job Eric.

extentions can be found where the gun cleaning suplies are sold,, I have so many gun cleaning kits I have extras, but i have seem them for sale,, but if not wal-mart usually sells the whole kit for less than 10 bucks

Great idea, it should save me some time cleaning the fins that I had diamond cut and show polished.

Or you could just use felt bobs (Illustrated Categories : www.feltbobs.com, Just the Felt Bobs and Wheels!). They come in differnt shapes and sizes and are pretty cheap. Chuck them up in a dremmel/die grinder and away you go.

Hey HDLarry, what do you need to clean?? LOL That thing looks awesome. It doesn't look like it ever hit the street!

Good idea!



One of my X employees once used a saw zaw with a sissy stick taped to the end. Diamond cut and polishes at the same time.

yeah that's a pretty good idea; bah, I'm too lazy to polish the fins. ya'll got too much time on your hands....

Maybe you could use a tampon and a clothes hanger.

For diamond cut heads use jewelry cleaner and a soft toothbrush on the edges. Works perfect for mine. For the inside of the fins and the rest of the motor I use Metal Gloss. It is available on ebay and is the best polish I have ever used on polished aluminum. It makes my motor come very close to matching the chrome pieces I have near it. Somehow it literally gives it a gloss like n other polish I have seen.

I like the idea Eric - got some serious cleaning to do before spring - that should give me alittle more time for a cold one!

Nice! What are the brand names of these cleaners/polishes?

Barrell cleaning tips work good but I found using a Dremel tool using the fine wire tips then the buffing tips is easier, there is no extensions to mess with. Alcoa wheel cleaner and polish works great but is a workout.
