It is crazy impressive mate! Too much hard work for my liking!

do you think cola and tinfoil would work might try that 

[jpw1275]

Never tried the cola and tin foil so I couldn't really comment....... Hardest bit really is smoothing all the float bowls and getting rid of all the seams etc

I tried that when I got them. Doesn't exactly polish but you can get a nice brushed look

what do you mean by brushed look? 

[Island Mini]

as in brushed aluminium. Like this

 

 

but they need to be sanded first anyway.

 

Also tried a wire brush on a dremmel that came out pretty cool too.

picture doesn't work

[HarrysMini]

Coke and tinfoil is really good for restoring pitted and rusty chrome, but ti doesn't really polish.

 

You could try metal polish like Brasso.

Ill get a better pic one day..

Nice carbs lots of effort put into them to get them polished like that.
