These are the wet sanding preparation stages for polishing a cast part. I provide a workable solution for keeping engine parts out of your kitchen, and demonstrate a new technique you should use during all wet sanding stages for blending your textures after planing on each grit. Get those textures right before stepping up. Wet sanding is where it makes the most difference.

I spend some time giving the background of my experience with this method so that all of you can put its origin together. I never promised anyone I'd give you the secrets to polishing made fast or easy. I promised to give you the method that won me trophies, and I can't help it if you think it sucks. I'm not even doing this for competition. I'm doing this only to pay respect to my previous build, and to share with all of you how I made a thing that brought me an immense amount of joy over the years. A thing that won multiple categories, and 3-peted King of Bling VERY controversially because it was a stock-appearing car on 1995 GS factory un-polished alloy wheels ALL 3 TIMES. I am the only car to ever win it with factory wheels. All my work was under the hood.

These techniques work on EVERYTHING metal. Except the ones that burn or explode when you get them wet. It works on the ones that rust, too... but why on Earth would you ever do that? Don't. The only thing that changes are their hardnesses, and which compounds and wheels you'll need for polishing them. We'll talk more about that in the next episode where I'll be doing that work.

I will do very difficult automotive jobs for food, and production equipment. Enable my suffering here:   / jafromobile
