I tried this method with some Kawi brute force plastics and the wool pad and mothers aluminum polish is not cutting any scratches whatsoever. Even sanded up to 800 grit and it still didn’t cut the scratches. Any recommendations on something more aggressive for the polishing part?
well know it all. the new cluster runs off a different computer system and will not work with the old truck. and the only other older part used is the column. The new one can be used but you will need to cut and wire about 40 important wires for that to work, This set up lets you bolt a dash into your truck in your driveway nothing special needed. thats why!
Mine didn't come with rib nutts just self tappers would u suggest rib nutting it or will the self tappers hold for a long time? I don't want em ripping out awesome product tho
Looks sweet.... I finally was able to get a krx1000 base model because my budget barely was able to get it put 300 miles on it and bought an inferno heater and put it in including the thermostat bypass and never checked the temperature of the thermostat that came with well unfortunately it was a higher temp which opened the OEM thermostat too far and let the guide pin fall out and that misalignment made the thermostat stick closed and before I noticed it motor over heated and that was enough to blow the head gasket and I have the motor unbolted hanging weighting on what I decide to do hopeful to pull the head resurface the head and put a new gasket in and hope the cylinders aren't warped. I have it all ripped apart so understand the piles of PCs all to well😂
I read on a form you should use a foam pad that it won’t burn the plastics, no matter how hard you try after watching this I’m gonna forget with that other guy said thank you for this good video!
If you think about it, the original shine on the plastic was the result of the heat that was in the original mold. To a degree, that's what you are emulating here. You have gotten the right balance of heat and polishing compound. I know many people will laugh , but people that are very good at this are nail techs. They really have some cool tools especially their emory boards that I love to use in metal work. It is amazing the shine they get in the work they do going slowly one grit at a time. (of course they are talking the whole time HaHa) This is "Thee" ultimate video in restoring plastic. Thanks
