Polished a carb top. Thoughts?

[NBraun]

Well i thought id try my hand polishing. I know your suppose to go at it with sandpaper, but i didn't have any, and i didn't feel like getting any so i just used the mothers polish cream stuff. Anyways.

Before

After

I know that there's a little pitting but i thought it was pretty good for only a 10 minute job. I might try this on my engine covers, but i might have to get a polishing wheel.

Anyways, if you have any suggestions or things to say, go ahead!

I bought and Eastwood polishing kit, lots of mops and soaps, used the brown soap for starting and the blue to finish, came up awesome, like a mirror, used a pedestool drill for the mops.

I think you could make that look much brighter with a buffer and some sand paper at the least

Are the dull parts of this simply parts left raw after bead blasting? EDIT: Talking about the motor in your signature.
