What do youguys use to polish the motor mounts waht I mean is do you sand them down first and with what grit and wet or dry, best process to getting them real shiny and can you polish the stock front chain gaurd, and what kind of sand paper to use for the calipers and other things without scratching them I learned my lesson on not going high enough for my trottle cover dont let me make that mistake again, takes forever buffing out scratches so cmon I know there are some real pros on here!

If your gonna pay someone to polish them than you might as well chrome them... I love polishing my own parts.. It may take a while but it's stress relieving and it builds knowledge of how to do polishing from experience... Plus at the end you see to love that part more than the other billet you have since you put all the time and work into it....

don't pay someone to do it, buy steel wool and do it yourself. or a sanding sponge...its tthe best thing i've ever seen. after about 10 mintues this is what mine looked like...i wasn't even done with the motor...i'll post a finished product later
Yea, yours looks sorta polished NTP...but its not going to be anywhere near what mine is. And I PAID someone to do it, yes, PAID.

If your going to do a lot of polishing have it done like CHEF. But for all the little parts, do it yourself. GET PERSONAL WITH YOUR QUAD!!!!!!LOL;)
