Re: Hazeing question when polishing??Help
Hi everyone, this is my first post here as I just stumbled on the site today.
I have 20+ years polishing all types of metals and many plastics.
Bewsted, Using the first method you described is the way I have recommended
to costumers that want to do it them selfs, accept i don't recommend any power tool at all.
If you truly got all the way to 2000 grit then cream polish and a rag will take it from there.
I think you probably have had the valve cover very close to as good as it gets. Cast alum is often as you described, many times you can even see rivers of density (i call them), shiny veins of brighter metal in the clouds of a casting.
I bet if you work some extruded 6061 the same way you did the valve cover
you would see the difference is in the metal and not your work.
Now you can kick back and have a beer, you did a good job
NEVER polish impaired!!!
