MC polishing tips?

[schaubster]

I'm trying to sand and polish my master cylinder. Any tips or advice. It has some pretty narrow spots and little nooks that are hard to reach.


I'll put up a pic soon.

I've heard of people using a dremel tool for small crevasses and such.

IMHO.... dont do it. i did and i regret it about once a month when i need to re-polish. But if you dont mind a crap ton of work, a dremel and their little polishing kit (i used my own rouge) will work. took me a few hours and its still not perfect. Oh and i recomend the polishing kit (comes in its own little blue case) cause its got a variety of polishing tips, so when one isnt cuttin it, you can try a different one. i ended up going through 2 of the kits as i did my controls too... never again.

oh and if you do sand those little nooks and crannys start with a very fine grit, 600+ cause scratches are gonna be a bitch later!

if you sprayed some clear coat would that take away the necessity to re=-polish?
