Hi guys, could anyone tell me the best way to polish my su carb tops,and what material to use etc,regards nick.

If the usual shop bought metal polish and elbow grease is insufficient, then you need a rotary mop in an arbour and some polishing compound.

This sort of thing:

'Cetem' are one of the main suppliers. Thye have no website, but many dealers stock their goods./

Nothing to do with me. I polished up a set of alloy wheels very nicely with some of their kit.

Just tried AUTOSOL on mine to try it out and they buff up a treat !!

If they are very pitted then use 1200 wet and dry with T-Cut as an initial clean up(keeping away from the edges) and then a rubbing compound like G3 then T-Cut again and finally finish with a good metal polish.They will come up to a mirror finish then.
