That super charger was never a polished version and that is pretty much the way it will look unless you have it completely polished out.

What type of "clean up" are you looking for? If you want a light polish, here are a few steps. It'd probably take 4hrs or so.
-Sisal wheel (sharp cut wheel) and a 240/300 greasless compound -Sisal Wheel and a sharp cut compound. -Spiral sewn wheel (med cut wheel) with tripoli compound (med cut compound) -Loose wheel (not sewn, finishing cut) with soft cut compound. There is also a recommended RMP that you spin the wheels at. My personal preference is to spin them a bit faster and use a little less pressure if you are using your buffs in a 6" grinder. You have to make sure not to let the wheel catch on anything though. Also, a wire wheel will put some scratches in the surface that are a pain to take out in later finishing steps of the polish. Beware, it is not a fun process! Here is a pic of an intercooler I just polished using a little more in depth process. |

+1 there Whatever you do, don't take a wire wheel to it, you won't be happy. |
