For those of you have had your Eaton polished, what would someone expect to spend on the process. Just curious...

I'm polishing mine right now. I know why they charge what they do. More nooks and crannies than a pack of English Muffins!

Harbor Freight sell a 2 HP grinder/polisher. Buy the polishing felt wheels from Eastwood... and get polishing.

I did the 331 stroker in my '93 Mustang, including the aluminum heads.
The finished product is in the photo section under my name.

They look fantastic till you scratch em. Best for a weekend car. Not a daily.

Scratch it :confused: I don't see how that would happen real easy once its installed.

Blackened, What was the cost of the polishing on that bad boy?

If its a super shiny job then it will show small scratches easy. Its aluminum. If you want it to ALWAYS look super bad ass and never have to touch up you'll want to clear it. Similar to how are Marauder wheels are finished.
