    damn didnt think you remembered that.. But when you get to 1000grit you start sanding dry and when it feels smooth enough to you start wetsanding 1000-2000 grit and very soapy water..

    I gotta lookin into that Billet polish, sounds like good stuff... Dont think ive ever seen it though..

    that would be a bit more on the difficult side depending on the finish of the turbo.. If its a Turbonetics, they are already shiny you can just make it bling more.. Other turbos im not too sure..
