And the reason i cant give you any more is, i don't think you can receive any of any more members, you must have the highest rep on here mate, and your right you truly are mental! lol love it...:thumb:

lol thank you Sir. I know how you mean it don't worry,

In my eyes, you see all this amazing looking engines and bays but they will have a std looking oil filter.. Just lets it down, had to fix that.

I've seen 1 cars (one mk1 golf) looked chromed but i guess it where polished and 2 cars with painted ones (Lotus Carlton (the best one build but Dave Franzk) and on a Red mk2 golf)

I'll prob run a painted one for normal use.

I use 1200 and 1500, as i dont have any 2000. But you can get 2 and 3000 sponge like discs that are very good.

I use a sponge block/pad with loads of water with a lil soap in it.
Then use a 3m compound head and G3 to polish it back up, then 3m Ultrafina to remove the last marks before glaze and wax.

I did write a "how too" for here, but never uploaded it...
