So I bought myself a vibratory polisher and I haven't used it too much. My bud pulled these acorn cap nuts off his M50 valve cover and along with all the hardware I just pulled from my engine bay removing the front end, I stuck it in the vibratory polisher for 2 stages.

Here is how it came out after 15 hrs of polishing the last stage. I will probably run my own hardware even longer to see if the results are better!

All of these parts are are used and were dirty as hell!

Wow, didn't realize such stuff existed (vibrators that clean stuff). Nice results, I have a feeling you'll get some use out that. Nice friends you keep ;)

Toss in the tools in the toolkit, some rims, a z4, your pocket change.........

Actually, reminds me of how I do laundry. Start a load, then remember/stumble across all the dirty $hit you forgot to throw in. Make four extra trips downstairs to add more :D

Its funny - same motor in the HF as in the Caswell/Eastwood unit... it was $59 vs $250+

Go figure :)

From my experience, they only create a wet, sticky mess!! :D

Just leave it prob. I could clear them, that'd be neat and easy to clean. Hrm...
