polishing air caps

[Arlon]

Just a short question.
Could the Alloy air caps be polished like the are crome or is this alloy not suiteble therefor?
Before I start spending a lot of elbow steam into this.....

ok i think we going to have to work our way through a language barrier. what do you mean by "air caps". if you are talking about that big piece with the "yamaha" on it, we call them "air scoops". and yes guys polish them up , but if you want chrome like finish, chrome them. gimme a sec and i'll find the links to the threads that discuss this.

Thx for the correction and the link to the polish instruction by GURU.

I guess I have some work to do.

Very difficult to polish inside letters. Time consuming and uses many small buffing tips or wheels to get the into the tight spaces. Gee, if I said "nooks and crannies" I'm afraid you would think I am saying a bad word to you.

From the picture, I'm thinking you might mean the 4 diaphram covers? If so, it's a breeze compared to the scoops.

Here are mine polished. They are a lot of work to polish and also quite a bit of up keep....

Thx Grimmie and you did a fab job on the air scoops

Grimmie, those look great. For the upkeep, have you tried the Mother's polish and their powerball? I've had good luck with their stuff for upkeep on polishing.

Arlon, Good luck with your project.
