It looks like total crap. I think you should just give up now and sell the parts to me. When you're done polishing, that is.

Zetec can be polished. Thats a contour cover i have on my focus. Took a lot of work but came out great. Its no 100%alu. though. Its Magnesium and aluminum i believe so it shines but not as bright as aluminum. Used buffing pads on a bench grinder with 4 different compounds and wheels.

Nice job polishing bagged, ive done a 8" x 8" Vanity plate...that wasnt fun, I cant imagine all those "contours" in those parts.

I guess it looks OK. :shrug:
:laugh:

yeah, after looking at the work that has been done there, I have been thinking about picking up another valve cover and going to town on it, a zetec valve cover would be HELLA easier to polish, but still extremely time consuming :crazy:
wanna help a brother out scott?

I just roughed mine up on the Cougar before I painted it and man that was enough work. I couldn't imagine doing it in stages of different grits :crazy:
I used a wire wheel and a corded drill with a scotch brite and it was still too much work :laugh: I just roughed it up enough that it was nice and clean and then I hit mine with high gloss black engine paint.
