Tunnel polished with Mother's Mini ball.

I going to try it. I did a area under the seat with 1000 grit paper once and 2000 grit paper 2x. Also did Mothers Mag and Alum twice. How many coats of polish has it taken most of you guys?

Mothers Billet

I found our Canuck Tire here in town has a crap load of Mother's Billet polish on the shelf. Don't see that very often!!
 
I am in the middle of a tunnel polish job right now. One of my conclusions so far is to forget about Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish and go for Mother's Billet Polish instead. No matter if you are polishing a wet sanded tunnel or a standard tunnel and no matter if you are polishing by hand or polishing with power tools, Mag & Aluminum Polish seems to be way too abrasive as it leaves small scratch marks and swirl marks behind. Using the same procedure, method and tools, this does not happen with Mother's Billet Polish.
 
I'll have to look into the billet. I don't think my local auto parts stores carry it.

x2... billet, mag and aluminin gave me a lot of little scratches... trying billet next year
 
I've used them all...Flitze, Mothers Mag n Aluminum and Mothers Billet....I currently use Bushes Supershine...buy far the best stuff I've used...goes on easy and comes off easy.
 
If you ever come across a tube of simichrome, try it out. I got it off ebay after doing a bunch of reading on different boards.. Its really good stuff.

This looks like something I would find on my grandpas shelf. lol
But I bet it works. haha
 
Bushes aluminum polish is by far the best. I bought the billet to try it, and compared to the bushes it's garbage. Not even close at all. I will vouch for this stuff as I'm doing my rails with it now and have done my tunnel. Comes off so easy compared to the billet and shines way easier. Much less effort.. Oh and I did my excell muffler
