    Vehicle : Vectra

    Trim : SRi (VXR Styling)

    Engine : Z19DTH (Re-mapped)

    Year : 04

    Mileage : 140k

    Default More engine bling!

    Finally got round to finish sanding the Vec B cam cover.
    below is right up to 1200...



    Was going to leave it for another day but got excited so out came the polishing kit for my drill

    After stage 1 first cutting:


    Stage 2: medium compound


    Stage 3: finishing compound


    Very impressed with it, taken a few hours but well worth it... Looks chrome...

    Should finish the engine bay off nicely, well after new TB pipe

    Surprised how well it came up... Once it's on I just need something to put on to protect the finish, any ideas. Someone mentioned car wax but not sure if that would just go wierd looking...
