With polishing compound on the polishable areas (not covered by anodize).

QUOTE(kwales @ Apr 25 2007, 07:58 PM)  With polishing compound on the polishable areas (not covered by anodize). Ken Well, I'll add this...... I have a 914 that's never had alloys on it. But I have had a couple of 911's with Fuchs alloys as well as Cookies. These were anodized, except for painted surfaces ( & maybe those were anodixe prior to painting - don't know.). What I DO know is, if you polish the previously anodized surfaced - you polish off the anodizing, which is a very thin coating. Once you do that, unless you have them re-anodized, they oxidize. Which means you'll be polishing them regularly. I, me, personally, don't recommend polishing without re-anodizing. Case in point - my 73 911T - cookie cuters. They were anodized a very pale green by the factory. I got the car somewhere around 1988. Polished them - stupid! Now they're grey & could be polished back to silver, but 2 weeks later they'd be grey again. |
