My newly Polished Precision 5831

[KEVINS]

Before I even ran my new 5831 I sent it to the polisher (Custom Polish) to have the compressor housing done and I just received it back after about 1.5 weeks, so I wanted to share some pics and my thoughts.

Price was about $125 and I admit that it's not a perfect polish job but I think it will be fine for my use. The disappointing part was that they didn't clean the polishing compound off it so I spent some elbow time cleaning it up. Actually I tossed it in the dishwasher...BIG MISTAKE! It really dulled the finish so I had to buff it all over again.
I received quotes from other companies for approx. $145 but the lead time was 4-6 weeks out and I didn't want to wait that long. So in a nutshell for what I paid I'm pretty happy with how it looks.

I've had good luck with windex to take off polishing compound on what I polish at work. Mr Clean works too. You can use an old tooth brush to scrub it in.

Looks like it came out pretty good. I have an old polished ta49 thats gotten pretty dull i'm thinking about trying to polish back up.

It is some work,but it always surprises me how little work it takes to make a big improvement.
