Just curious if there is any tricks or hints out there for pollishing the tunnel. I have never done it before and I know a lot of you have. I bought Wizards pollish and it seemed to work well on the rear bumper, but I was hesitant to start the tunnel (looks like a big project). Any thoughts would be helpful!

I took my sled to a place that polishes Semis.They airsanded my tunnel first and then polish it with high speed buffers.It looks awesome it is so shiny that it does'nt even look like aluminum it looks like chrome.The only thing I would reccomend if you take it to a place like that is to have them cover the rest of your sled with something because the dust gets everywhere.
SWEEEET Sled by the way I love the way the 2010 Assaults look.

Wizards polish is one of the best products ive used on my tunnel. Go to wal mart or napa and pick up a mothers power ball will speed up the process. The more you go over it the shinier it will be. When you can see how ugly you are then it is shiny enough.

Once the aluminum is polished, is there a way you can protect it so it does not oxidize quickly? Maybe a good wax polish?
Looks good but for sure is a waste of time that you could find something else to do that is more productive. It just won't last as long as you would like it to and then you have to do it all over again. I quit doing the tunnel thing long ago.
I checked out your pics.......Nice job
Thank you sir, you do some mighty fine airbrushing I might add. keep up the good work and keep us posted with pic's

Thanks I will do....Im glad you liked it.
I"ve used polish from Mothers to Sledbrite and cannot figure out hoe to make it become like a chrome finish. I have used a powerball but they get dirty so fast its a pain in the @@$ and unsure what to do to make it extremely shiny
What does an air polisher do? Whats the cost of one? What kind of rags do you use? I use ordinary shop rags and micro fiber
Hey TopNotch you wanne come over and do my dragon for me and ill buy all the beer you can drink. that looks awesome man. you do great work.
