$50 from where?!!? Your location says you are from the Gold Coast, for the price you got it done it's cheaper for me to send my rocker cover to you, pay to get it polished and then give you money to send it back! lol

EA2BA, I'm up for it, who else wants in? Any idea on how many we could send up, how much for a group polish? Maybe someone on here could hook us up with freight?

I think we start a list see how many we get for a start, then we can make some more enquiries.

I just did mine, but by hand, using HyFin polish and elbow grease..

Here's a pic.

For $50, that's a bargain and it comes up a treat. I may even get a second one done.

far out, i'd nearly be willing to send my upper manifold to be done for that kind of price......

do you know if it needs to constantly be polished to keep it from tarnishing, or is it just going to stay like that ....
