well, several hours yesterday were spent on product testing the car care kit (wash/prep/polish) I bought from The Polishing Company at Chimfest and I can confirm that, along with lots of elbow grease, it makes your Chim shiny!
Along with the new mats, the gearlever shroud and the new Leven wipers, the car goes even faster
Not 100% happy with the engineering/cost of the wipers but better than the standard set up.
Now its time to sort out a service. Gulp!

when they polish your ports is that a bad thing then, if you need a rough finish?

Removing restrictions such as casting marks for better flow is key. Port matching (ie; holes that line up is also critical to extra oomph! This lova engine has some good areas that have been done, I will take piccys!!
Matt the 'best' process, more often used on bikes than cars for some odd reason, is the 'extrude-hone', where an abrasive loaded putty is forced through the inlet tracts/ports at low speed/high pressure. It removes the wall obstructions, and smoothes sharp contours etc, but leaves a matte finish that discourages wall wetting.
