I used Mother's Mag & Aluminum polish, apply a little,rub it good, wipe it off. It doesnt remove the tiny pits in the metal or anything great like that since Im not sanding and removing imperfections, but its definately adding quite a bit of luster to the finish.

Im sure by the end of the week I'll have the turbo ultra shiny, but the rows on the FMIC are gonna take a while, even with a dremel polishing bit.

Wow, thats some good shit...Off to Napa I go!

i swear on flitz polishing cream, its the best period, if you can find it get it and use that not mothers imo, i found it at boaters world.

well the mothers was only 5 bucks , Ive barely used any of it and the turbo is pretty much done. I didnt even pre-clean the FMIC and look at the difference it made.

looks good im going to try it also.

Ya know whats easier. Get a bench grinder and buy a polishing wheel and I bought this stick of super aluminum polish.

turn the buffer and apply some polish to the wheel and BAM! no effort on your part and a super shiny finish. You could polish the whole FMIC and turbo in like an hour. But you did really good with what you had
