Check out some stuff called SPEEDY, you can get it at truck stops.

It will turn fuel lines to almost chrome.

James and I use it, better then the Mothers stuff.

MMMM, a truck stop full of lonely truckers.

I have some polish that came from a truck stop. It's white and has a rabbit on it I think. Not sure if it's the same stuff but it didn't do dick for these valve covers.

yeah the pitting really wont come out, so nothing there is gonna eliminate that. other than some 1000 grit, then a pass with 1500 before you hit it with the polish and buffer

If you use this speed polish stuff- put it on some 1000, or 1500 grit and go to town, you will be amazed at the results, then after you get that cleaned up, use it again with a buffer and they will shine. I promise...

Call automotion and ask them for thier speed polish.. It is in a clear bottle with a grey label and blue text.. and its usually like $12 a bottle..

I have some speedy polish if you'd like to try it out DHeck, LMK and I'll be at the suds this Saturday if you want to try it out! But it does work better with a buffer. And if you need to get rid of the pitting, use 1,500/1,000 grit sand paper and put this stuff on there like everyone else is saying. The stuff works wonders. And it is only $12.72 at automotions.

IF anyone is wanting to go to the suds re-opening this Saturday and your wanting to wash your car, The Silk and Lace Show Club is holding a car wash from 2:30 pm till 6:00 pm. Cars are being washed by the dancers for $15.00 and food will be offered while it lasts. Drinks are normal prices... So if your interested in seeing some girls, having some food or drinks, and seeing some cars, I'd say go to the carwash and then The Suds... Should be fun!

For everyone who's interested in this, The showclub is located at The Madison and Sumner intersection. (3512 South Madison Ave. (317-783-6144) It's right behind Mikes Carwash on US31 (Mikes Carwash is across from the Target!) It's the next stoplight East of Mikes Carwash on the right side.....
