Default What will cut this faster?

I am polishing my turbo housing on my truck. As you can see in the picture the housing is really rough. I am using an 8" spiral sewn cloth wheel and the black compund spining at 3150rpm's. That little bit that is shiny took me like a 1/2 hour. There must be something better. Also what can i use to get in the area that is recessed around the intake part of it? I have not used the dremel. Will that be my tool? Anyway what can be used to spped this up?

Default Cutting Faster

You need to use Wet and Dry Paper to remove the casting marks. See http://www.caswellplating.com/wetanddry.htm

Once the casting marks are gone, move on with the black compound.

ok great! I will order some up right away! What do i use for the recessed area once i rid the piece of the casting marks? I had mentioned the dremel but If the dremel is what i need to use won't if give me a different final finish? What i mean is i am using the wheel on the most of the piece and in that particular area the wheel won't fit.

caswell has a felt bob kit which you can use with your dremel and some greaseless compounds. They will be even faster that the paper.
Good Luck!
