the truck is looking awesome by the way!!!!

Thanks

Thanks for the compliments Shizzon,
I’ve bent my fair share of them, but I have never broken them!. I like them and for $54.00 they are defiantly worth it!.. I have broken 6 axel output shaft and have been told that if I used Traxxas stock one, I would break the stock plastic color instead I don’t know?!,

I still like them and they match the build so I'm keeping them..

Thanks for stopping by and I hope the ramble made sense?? LOL.LOL

Question though- what exactly are the polishing compounds you used, and what kinda polishing wheel is that (material?)? Gotta beat hand-polishing things at any rate...

I've seen your Builds Neil your are so clean you can eat off them (please!)

Cleaning compounds:

I start with steel wool 000
Then I use the cleaning wheel (white) on my 8' bench grinder with the following compounds:
Royobi "E" (For cleaning nickel & chrome, stainless steel, brass and copper)
or i use
Mibro #2 Cleaning compound for nickel & chrome, stainless steel, brass and copper

Then I change the pad to the orange (polishing wheel) and use the following compounds:
Royobi "H" for shining to a high gloss hard and soft metals
or
Mibro #6 High gloss polishing compound

then to top it off I'll use Mothers Billet Metal Polish.

So a quick re-cap:
• steel wool
• cleaning coumpound
• polishing compound
• final shine “Mothers” then
• Buff to a high blinding gloss…

It's 3-6 hrs of pure quality time with your RC!..

P.S.
This usually works best after a few drinks!..

And you need like 30 cloth towels too
