    Default Got on the polish binge

    About a month ago I started to polish my vc and turbo but shortly gave up after there were some deep scratches that wouldn't come out so I decided to paint it and it didn't turn out as planned. So last night while Captain_Obvious and I where having a few beers decided I would give it another shot

    When I first started a month or so ago



    then to some paint


    after last night still have many more steps to go but a lot of those deep scratches are slowly vanishing
