Polishing a Tunnel

Hey guys, just wanted some input as to what is your best way to polish a slighty oxidized tunnel on a vintage sled? Ive heard 000 steel wool to get rid of the oxidation and then polish with the Mother's power ball, but are there any better methods out there?

Thanks,
Brad

Big John,

If you have access to an air buffer & mothers metal polish it will shine like a mirror. If you don;t have the air buffer it will take alot of elbow greese but it can be done.

An automotive buffing wheel will work also - but there is alot of the area you can't reach and have to do by hand.

The best trick I learned was from ToyMech. Use laquor thinner or goof off to remove the polish between coats. You'll go through alot of rags, but this removes all the old dirty polish between coats and saves a ton of labor because otherwise you can't remove the haze and consequentially keep moving the dirty polish around.

White Diamond Metal Polish is simply the best. It cleans, polishes & seals the surface all in one easy step and it is a finish that will last. You can order it online at www.cannonclassicsleds.com under detailing products
