Going to head down to halfrauds and B&Q tommorow, plan on picking a few things up.. first of all some sandpaper to clean up my rocket cover.

Has anyone got any ideas on what type's I need?

Also any recommendation on metal polish... Polish mits? etc..

Any help appreciated cheers!

start or with like a 400 grit sandpaper then get finer which is higher numbers...so 1200 withh give a ncie finish higher if u more more shine, and a good metal polish is autosol...which comes in a little tube, use water with the wet and dry when you get to the finer grits, and you can also your a small amount of polish with the finest paper you have first, the buff after..use a lint free cloth to buff it/apply it but make sure u take it off with a clean one

And take pics! so we can see :)

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Will grab a few pieces of each then tommorow.. and a tube of that autosol, I am sure I've seen it before! I am going to have to refer back to your guide when I get everything! haha.. :)

I'll try and get some pics

Cheers

also, perhaps slightly better is a wheel refurb guide, in the wheels technical section, which shows pics of what you should be doing, granted its on a wheel but the same basis, so check that out aswell bud

Good news - You're not the first to call it a 'rocket cover'.

Bad news - Only one person has previously done so,and he got the piss ripped out of him hard.

Cool.

And cheers Lawry, will check it out right now

I painted one satin black,and laid bright red inserts in the two grooves.

Not the look you're after but it did look good.

There have been previous topics on polishing rocker/cam covers before and some have good pics and instructions,so they're worth rooting out with the search function.

Thought you wanted to revamp one of these... I was gonna say, just buy a new one you cheapskate its only a white sheet!

i wanna shiny rocket
