Subject: Polishing the Supercharger lobes? Fri Apr 04, 2008 6:41 pm

I could literally sit there for 10 hours polishing it, if the results were good. My question is, would it corrode? Isn't it aluminum? How hard is it to take off the Supercharger cover?

I would really like to do this as a summer project, which for me is in one month, I think it would add a really awesome look to my already clean engine bay, plus I might be able to replace the rear valve cover while it's off.

Thoughts?

Easy to open but don't know about polishing lobes but there is teflon coating on those lobes so i'm no shure about polish.

hey corey i'm trying to polish my brothers supercharger now, and out of all the stuff i bought to take the old grey paint off i found that a good wire whell works the best. the only thing is i wish it didnt take long, but its working better than sand paper, resurfacing discs, and sanding stones. once i get it all the panit off i bought these polishing pads and aluminum polishing compund that feels in the dips. i was goin to paint it, but these is actually starting to turn out pretty good. if anyone can tell me how to upload pics on here, then i'll post the finished product. by the way a good air compressor and die grinder/ drill helps too!

I'm sure there are a few products out there..but this one comes to mind.. after polishing.. you will want to seal the aluminum and its pores.. with something like this... http://www.zoopseal.com/zoopseal.asp
