How did you get the valve cover so nice. I spent hours with buffing wheels, a Dremmel drill with minatutre buffing wheels etc. I was reasonably pleased with my effort..now I just feel scruffy!!!

Did you get it electropolished? If so, where. Rosco Perth, WA

I used a buffing wheel attachment on my bench grinder with some aluminium polish. then did all the details aroound the alfa romeo script with a tooth brush and the rest by hand...this took me 2 days to do 2 of them!!
