    Vanos polishing, which products?

    I will have my Vanos out soon and figured that would be a good time to give it a polish. I've seen a few members on here like Tbonem3 and
    KhanArt have done this with the vanos in and it looked great.
    Just wondered what products you guys used, I think I was told Mother's mag and aluminum polish with some buffing pads. I know its not rocket science but any products anyone might recommend I would sure appreciate it.
    I need a project like this as I am now under the 14 day quarantine, fun stuff.

    This guy does a decent run through on dremel polishing with some different comounds. On my to do list as well so I'm interested in what process others have used.

      Nice, the dremel would be a the right sized power tool for the job.
      I was looking at getting this kit from Eastwood, must be used on a drill however. It looks like the smaller sized pads in the kit would work well on the Vanos.

        Mother's MAG polish. MF towels, q tips, elbow grease or dremel/drill & wool attachments.

            Since the Vanos will be removed I'll try these on the Dremel w/ some MAG polish, seems promising.

                  Doesn’t it just oxidize after polishing?
