Default Polish rocker covers
I'm about to tackle my leaking rocker covers and thinking of cleaning, painting and making them look better.

I don't really want to leave them off for long periods while I get them painted but found a video of a guy in america polishing them.

Are the jdm ones polishable? In the video his do already look pre polished, possible chromed?

That's like waxing your butt crack; no one cares or wants to see it. And you've got to keep doing it

I didn't polish in the end. Paranoid about dust getting in the open engine I gave it a squirt with brake cleaner and put it back on.


8 points if you guess my best spread.

BED* spread. Thomas the tank duvet cover is a great cleaning cloth. Only take the corners then the kids will never notice 😉
