You could hang that in your bathroom ... would be the coolest looking mirror ever! LoL! Also, should have shown a pic of yourself before and after HaHa! I bet you was as black as the ace of spades after doing that! LoL!
I don't think the customer would have like me keeping his turbo lol. Please hit that subscribe button, more to come!
Looks easy when you have all the correct tools.
Isn't that how most things go? lol
work harder not smarter
If U Have a BUffER Everyone Can Do ITT .. I Hand POlisH aLL MY STUff 😂😂😂
It looks extremely cool in a shaved engine bay. My friend has an extremely clean civic with a polished turbo. That engine bay is heavenly
he got insta?
Thanks for watching!
That is a work of art!! Just curious, how long did that take you? It looks amazing
About 3 hours. I'd love to do some work for one of your cars free of charge, just contact me and we'll set it up. Would make great content!
How much is a job just like this?
250 for a turbo housing
Do you also do this as a business? Like I can send my turbo and other parts off to ya’ to get this beautiful work done?
Yessir! Send us an email Awesomefinish@gmail.com
Can you provide what grit sand paper you use

I’m assuming you add the white diamond right before you take it to the buffing wheel?
@@MeG4tRoNx not at all. White Diamond is hand applied after the part is washed. It's a final step. The video shows me using white rouge compound on the buffing wheel.
Start and finish with 320 grit? Tight areas use 220 grit?
Yes, 320 all the way.
Amazing.. How much would a supercharger head unit cost to polish. I already began, but doing it installed is not good-Id have to removed it and send it for a right result...Thanks.
I get 500 to do a head unit. It won't matter that it's started, it all gets resanded and leveled anyway. Visit our website/FB page if you'd like it done www.awesomefinish.com
How do I get in contact with you to do some polishing on two 66/73s and piping?

Wow excellent job!
Hi, Where are you located??
St augustine FL
Very well done sir, very impressive. I'm here in Orange Park Florida and I'm fixing to do my intercooler pipe on my Ford 6.7L diesel engine and I have just one question, why use WD-40 instead of water when sanding? I gave your video a gigantic thumbs👍 up, great work friend.
Hello and thanks! I use wd becasue water would evaporate instantly due to the hot metal. Also the wd is a much better lubricant.
@@AwesomeFinish Hey buddy thank you for the reply and info. 👍
I'm doing this right now on a turbo that came from a semi, just to hang in my garage.
That's awesome man! Good luck with it.
So i see the sanding tools you used to get in the tough areas the da cant get to, but what did you use to buff out those tough areas?
My bad for not listing it in the description, I added a link in the first line of the supplies list. Use them with the green compound.
That came out great! I am looking to polish my cobra’s intake system / intake manifold. What grit did you use for the cartridge roll? What grit for rotary? What grit with the da?
120 and 220 cartridge roll. 320 DA. 320 wrapped and taped to a 220 cartridge roll to finish small areas.
Great work. Real awesome. I did something similar but cant reach some of the tight areas. Maybe the conical attachment is not long enough. Btw how did you polish the tight area? The buffing wheel would not reach there?
I used felt buff bobs for a dremel tool from Amazon and some green compound.
You can hand polish it too
Very nice shine
Thank you! Hit that subscribe button!
Hey man great video, would you be able to send what tools, pads and compounds you used as i wanna give it a crack thanks👍
It's all in the description with links to everything.
I’m looking to polish the factory Volvo compressors housing. Is that something you could help me with? Where are you located?
I'm in st augustine FL. Shoot me an email Awesomefinish@gmail.com
What type of buffer did you use? The link looks like a hand held and not a benchtop type.
I updated it in the description. Didn't realize I was linking to the handheld machine. The benchtop machine is a little expensive but what you want when doing this is horsepower and reliability so a good, strong machine is going to cost a little more than harbor freight!
For my car build I'm on, I want to polish my turbo to make it look better than the way it came from the manufacturer. Any good tips?
Watch the video!
@@AwesomeFinish i did. But as for tips any specific brand to go with that you'd recommend
Very nice!
Thanks!
Cool
Thanks!
That is so perfect
Nice like the channel
Thanks!
This is badass. Going have to try it out on my twins.
Amazing work
Thank you!
How much to do a stock supercharger from a ford lightning ?
500 if I have to strip the paint, 400 if you strip it
@@AwesomeFinish so what all is involved to get it that mirror finish do you like spray it with a mirror paint or ?
what grit did you start of with on da
Always 320 on the da
Was that a drill you used for a da
Was no drill, I used a da for the da.
Awesome Finish I got one to do and I’m nervous to do it it’s for a customer
What steps did you use to get it like that looks amazing man great work .I have a borg warner turbo that I want to do that to
Watch the video! Lol
Amazing! I really want to try this but my turbo was too expensive to practice on it. Do you have pricing available by any chance?
Turbo's range from 150 to 200 for a compressor housing, depending on size.
@@AwesomeFinish would love to get my vortech supercharger polished. For the truck shows im in.
