Default Polishing the exterior of my turbo.. how to?

Hey guys, tired of looking at my old gray GT30.. Just doesn't look appealing.

Can someone briefly explain to me how I would go about polishing the outside of it or at least making it look better than it does now?



Thanks!

You can sand it, itll be a long process though.
If you're lazy, go to walmart or to autozone and buy Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish and work it in, it'll look a lot better.
For best results, wet sand and use mothers. Theres a lot of how tos on polishing metal.

you need to get your turbo out to do it properly, but u can polish it to where it looks like a chrome finish if u do it right .
