Hand polishing my turbo....
I think I may be losing it, I decided that since I will be waiting a bit before I install the turbo, I might as well clean it up a bit...
Here are two pictures with the turbo and a pipe for reference... I started with 220 sandpaper and am at 320 wetsanding right now. It produces lots of black gunk when you polish alluminum, so it is polish a little, wipe it down, polish a little, wipe it down.
Has anyone here ever used a polishing wheel and rouge?

Yep! Works pretty good although most of my work has been done on trim bits and such. You can get the Wheels & Rouge at Harbor Freight, along with the grinder with an extended nose. Being a CB I never bought the polishing grinder I just used a standard one. Make sure you wear old clothes and run it someplace where you wouldn't be concerned by a bit of a mess.m bits and such.
