Billit Dash--Polish Out?

[aventur1]

Will these scratchs polish out?

Yes they will, BUT you will be best to do it with wet and dry sand paper first and then poish it with a power polishing wheel on a hand grinder or a buffer on a stand.


Take a 400 to 600 grit wet and dry sand paper and use WD-40 as a wetting agent. Start to remove the scratches with the corse paper. Then step up to a 1500 grit paper using the wd-40 all the time. Finish with a 2500 grit paper. Then start the final buffing and polish with the different grades of material and buffing wheels. It will surprise you that it is easier than you think.

Yes they will, but it wil take some time. Use 800 grit wet or dry wet sanding to get the scratches smooth using a stiff sponge to avoid finger grooves. Progress all the way through 2000 grit (wet sanding ) and then polish it with mothers or a comparable metal polish and a microfiber cloth.

I think your right. I got this as in a box of mics. parts, kinda a grab bag of small parts, so I just want to clean it up, although I do have a stock dash with Dolphin gauges and going to use it instead of this billit grill. This one has the smaller gauges at a angle, most I've seen are across the bottom.
