Ive seen a lot of polished heat shields on the board latly, and I think it would look real nice under the hood of my car. So how do I go about polishing my heat shield? Or Do I take it to some place, and what kind of place would do that? Do I just get sum wire sponge and polish my ass away for a weekend or what? Any tools to speed it up. Help me, im anxious to get started. I probbably should have searched before I posted, but its 2am and im going bed, hopefully I can wake up to a good answer I want to hear in the morning. TIA :thumbsup

PS: For all you ricers, notice I said HEADER (singular) not HEADERS (plural) i hate that shit. WOW YOU GOT HEADERS IN YOUR CAR DUDE!?! :rolleyes

I scrubbed mine with a brillo pad them I had a sanding bit for my drill (the one where the sand paper sticks to the end) and I put a rag around it and used some Mothers metal polish and went to town with the drill!

That just brings a tear to my eye just lookin at it. It's so beautiful (tear tear) ;(

I'mma have 1 chrome plated imo. Mine turned blue so I don't drive with the good shit on now. Pop it on at shows. :thumbsup

It turned blue? Is that kinda like how the headers turn color?

Well im convinced, this is my next project since its been pouring the freakin rain for the past week and i havent been able to work on the interior. Head Shield here i come:thumbsup

exactly the same. It was a bluish, brownish,purple. lol. I got a tylenol bottle sized bottle of this blue away shit froma cycle shop. $20. OUtrageous. It saved it tho and removed the ugly colors. I have a semi-polished 1 I drive with and I only put 3 bolts in it. I put the stainless bolts on the bling bling 1 at the shows. :thumbsup

just use 180 then 600 and then some 1500 and then polish it with the red stick from sears...... this works for all stuff you wanna polish...
