    Ok men, i have a br*** radiator in a bucket and need to know how to get it cleaned and buffed. I may have made a mistake by using Br***o b/c it made it worse.

    Thanks for the help in advance:D

    I started this one by using a fine sandpaper. The same grit you would use on block sanding a painted topcoat.
    Then clean it well and start the buffing with a machine. Start with a co**** and get a finer buff for each time.
    Finally you get to a point where it will begin to mirror. Fine dents make this difficult.
