Default Eagle One Never-Dull Wadding Polish

Just wanted to take a few minutes to tell everyone about my most favorable metal polisher. It's called Eagle One wadding polish.
I use this on just about anything metal that I want to make shiny. Works on all metals: Crome, aluminum, steel, copper, gold silver, ect. Here are some before and after shots of a few things I had laying around.







Enjoy...

Very shinny.

Question, did polishing the fuel level sensor fix the issue caused by higher e85 mixes? If so, how long did it hold up?

So shinny it hurts! I love that stuff.

No, not necessarily. The sensor was still working when I removed it from my original fix about a year ago. You can see how much prolonged use of full E will corrode the positive terminal. I am testing a new sensor that I was finally able to source for a moderate price. If successful I'll be able to mod and sell these on my website as a OEM Replacement that is E85 compatible. Should sell well, especially if the bigger injectors work out.

Ah gotcha. I assumed it wouldn't have been a permanent fix, but was curious because I never even considered trying to repair those. Cheap enough to replace.

An actual fix would be nice, but once you've gotten to it once, it's a super quick swap. If you happen to need an additional tester...

Is it time yet?

Been back on the 50/50 mix with full PI for a few weeks now. So far the sensor seems to be fine, but I'm starting to think about ordering a spare for when it inevitably goes.

You have been very patient. too patient. I am out of the car game. It's planting season... But I'll get you a sender to spare.

Hahahaha seriously? I knew I should've been a whiny asshole about it.

No big deal man. Just figured if you had a solution and wanted to test, I'd rather do that than buy a new OEM one. If you're curious about whatever idea you had, and cared to share, perhaps I could pursue it myself.

What's in the garden?

I've seen this Never-Dull stuff done on exhaust tips and look brand new. I have a brand new catback on and because I'm catless, it keeps collecting carbon and stuff. Will Never-Dull prevent it from going black?

You could always put that clear plastic wrap to protect them if that's what you are looking for. Otherwise I doubt it my whole fucking trunk gets black after a while. You would need a miracle to keep the tips clean lol.

Protect your vehicle's paint with Scotchgard? Pro Series Paint Protection Film

Not sure how it holds up to heat and I'm also not sure how hot the actual exhaust tips get. So you would have to look into that.

It's always disheartening to see a faint black spot surrounding my exhaust tip on a white car. Appreciate the input.
