Default Place To Polish Intercooler

Does anyone know where I could send my intercooler to be polished? Cost?

There should be a polishing or chrome shop near you that can do it.

larry,

there is some polish/chrome shop in melbourne, but if you just want to polish your end tanks, it should be fairly easy to do it yourself.

if all else fails, I have an excellent shop in Miami that I use for polishing and chroming. Tomorrow, you will see my chromed intake manifold that they did.

here's my computer that I polished:

here's what it looked like stock:

Quad, you have way too much time on your hands..LOL. That is one shiny puter?

Jet, we have a local guy that does insanely good polishing and chroming. Ron's Greddy TT pipes are being chromed as we speak. I will post some pics when they arrive.

But your best bet, for speed, is to find a local guy...maybe a custom motorcyle shop? They love to polish everything in site.

+1 on local, a quick search in yellowpages (online) can get you quick results and potentially at a place you can take the IC to, and not have to worry about shipping. If no luck, call your local machine shop, those guys always know people that do stuff like that.

Jet - The endtanks are pretty easy to do. I've done a few myself using Mother's polish. I think I usually do 8-10 applications for a mirror shine. But man, it's b*tch to keep shiny.

my shuttle does look like a polished toaster sitting by itself on the kitchen counter.
