Bought a polisher kit off ebay and here are the results of 2 days.

Did Charge Pipe first.

Is there loads of mess? And how easy is charge pipe to remove?



removal is 2 jubilee clips and the 2 clamps at the top to hold it down, removal in 5-10 mins max

That looks spot on, im trying to re do my mani with wet and dry so i may get one of these kits.
Did you use the pre polish kit or just this one to get that result?

All i did was use a electrical sander to flatten off the manafold (using 800 grit) whilst still on the car then stright on to the 3 stage polishing set i bought and there ya go. Recomend useing stage 1 and 2 for atlaest 10 mins each, stage 3 just makes it real shinny.

There is very little mess. But i covered up the engine with a old sheet.

Did You Just Use The Three Stage Polishing Kit For The Charge Pipe or did you need to use the 800 grit paper before hand.
