Anyone that is coming to this meet have a polisher I can borrow? I'm doing a little bit of rejuvenation on my JIC front strut bar. I'm repainting the mounting brackets black and trying to get rid of the damn water spots that are on it. What is a good kind of sealant to put on there to keep them from coming back? It's polished aluminum btw.

Electrical problems is my main concern. My car is going nuts lately plus the car doesn't want to idle at times. I can be driving and the car shuts off if it isn't in gear at a decent rpm. My foot has to stay on the pedal the whole time at a light or else it shuts off.

Plus I have to bring my car to get tuned hopefully within the next month and do maintenance stuff beforehand.

Sorry don't have a polisher...I probably will jack my friends if I needed it. Maybe a wheel sealant would help with those water spots. I personally need to polish my MS rear because it is super scratched

Negatory. None of those nasty 80 grit brushes are touching my car. I also don't take it to a high pressure wash. Guess I'm gonna have to pull up in a random house with a water hose from now on lol.
