Sanded and sanded and sanded , finally polished

[Boggs3010]

My Infraction chassis. Needs another pass at 2500 and another polish after but 10 hours ish later and this is it so far.

240 all the way to 1500 sand paper by hand. To a polish with power tools.

Nice work.
Intensive isn't it?
May i suggest, next time start with a less gritty sandpaper than 240. It causes even more scratches than you should be willing to sand and polish out.

Looks good. In case you don’t want a 10hour workout
I used dremel samdimg to remove the scratches (320 and 800 grit), followed by sanding by hand with 1000 and 2000 grit.

I was trying to get some of the deeper scratches in the chassis from use.

Outside Bling of a vehicle looked at Non operational Up Side Down I fail to see the point in it ????
Scratches on belly are IMO a good sign of all the fun you have had and still having ... Bling is for shelf queens.

Gotta be good for at least a tenth and mph in the 1/4 mile on aerodynamics alone.

Plus your trigger finger will be pulling harder after all of the working out!

You need to..

A couple of coats of Turtle Wax will shave even More time off the quarter mile!!

I did my m2c k8 chassis a while back.... quick work with da, a quick 220 to remove coating then a quick 320, then a good 400... then on to a good 400 wet sand by hand, followed by a quick 600 wet by hand, then 1000 and 1500. Then it's polish time!!!! Mike
Oh... and its not a shelf queen!!!

All's you need to say is that it looks nice . negative reactions don't belong on this forum

Just some 3m compound polish, followed by 3m fine polish, and then good old mothers!!! I used my small snapon polisher with foam pads... like I said, its quick work with the right tools and processes, this chassis was very lightly used when I got it so it made it much easier...Mike

Mother's! Ok I used 3m but didn't get the results I wanted and my chassis is oem not 7075. But I will keep going.

 

[Mike'sGN-Kraton]

You want to use some kind of gritty polish at the beginning of the polishing process, that will get most of the fine sanding scratches out, also try wet sanding.... your sand paper won't clog up on you!!! Mike

It's the way you stated your opinion., is all I'm saying.he worked hard to make it look pretty damn sweet if ya ask me .you could have came across with a compliment first then say it's not practical ,but you straight out forward sounded negative bro..tough skin has nothing to do with having respect for others work on here .
