Polished engine components, sealing...?

Diablo · 07-10-2009, 01:38 AM

I'm curious as to how I can cheaply seal my polished pieces? I just got my supercharger polished and before I put it on I'd like to see about having it sealed.

I'm hoping there is a UV spray can / rattle can clear that I can use to seal it with. I can't remember the exact brand, but it's like 17$ at the automotive paint store that has UV built in. I do not own a spray gun, nor look to get someone with one to do it for me. I'd rather do it myself the cheapest/easiest way

thanks

UV only protects against sun fading, not too much sun shines under your hood. the only way to keep it nice is to put hand polish/wax on it all the time.

Your right, I have no idea why I was thinking about UV. WOW, I'm astonished why I even considered that, it's kind of funny tho.

Do you recommend any certain product to use?

blue magic metal polish is some good stuff. pretty much though you are going to have to just keep it hand polished, i know it sucks but its better than nothing.
