Rebuilding a carb isn't too bad. Just have to make sure you match the gaskets and other parts when there are extras in the kit.
I just use chrome polish to polish the chrome on my rigs. Seems to work okay, but the chrome isn't crazy bad on them. Shines up nicely. I need to clay bar Crusty Biscuit, it looks good after a wax, I can only imagine what running a clay bar over it would do with a waxing involved afterwards.
I have washed this thing, clay barred it, wet sanded it with 2500, and now made one pass over it with a DA buffer + orange medium cutting pad + V34 from the chemical guys. It looks better than it ever has while I have owned it. If I follow their path, I am supposed to buff over that with V36 and then another round with V38 before finally wax and sealer.
That will have to be a job for tomorrow. Waiting on my 2 buffer pads to dry out after washing out the polish. I have 9 days left if I count show day to finish. The carb is still on the truck for now.
This is my attempt to show how the front half of the hood is buffed with the first round and the rest isn't. Crappy pic though.

The rest of these are all after the buff job with their v34.
