Polishing your Nytro Tunnel

tunnel polish

I like to use Flitz polish and polishing balls, they make 3 different size balls for your drill. I didn't go for the mirror finish just a really nice shine and it took longer to remove the plastic and seat then it did to polish it.

Great write up as usual Chris and excellent job. I may have missed it but what type of compound was used and what type of buffing wheels did you use on that grinder

 

[Mister907]

he doesnt say what the first compound used was,but the second round he said he used Pink Jewelers Rouge compound. i imagine the first was more of a prepping type probably.

Tunnel Polishing

Not sure if anyone is interested but i polish my tunnel and have seen a lot of really poor quality polishing jobs folks have put up on Youtube so i figured i would make my own.

Sometimes a vid is worth a thousand words when it comes to polishing and how to use the jewelers blocks for the best results. Without sealing this at the end it will last me a couple months before i have to give it a quick hand polish with some aluminum polish just to clean it up.
