    and somebody is wish they knew how to hit the reserve button 8O

    Ebay motors

    Not the best shine in the world but still nice. I personally would be pissed if I got my cases back like this for $400 bucks.

    If one of you won this on this site then speak up, then go buy a lotto ticket.

    Not a great polishing job, but OK for 50$. For 400 I would expect a mirror finish. If you need them done I would do it for less.

    Looks like a pretty restored stock finish. I have seen all covers for these xjs go for about 20 dollars on eBay. So really, if you know how to polish them yourself, its not that great of a deal. Otherwise, I suppose it is the jackpot.

    they look good for 50 bucks. The ones i do look a lot better But i am sure i spend much more time. They look about like 10 min with a buffer each after the clear is stripped. It usually takes me almost an hr to get the scratches and corrosion out. Of coarse i look like a polishing rag after polishing aluminum when i am done

    I never said the finsih was mirror, just one hell of a deal.

    I will agree with cutlass here though Polishing is on thing and on thing only, Dirty & nasty, it gets into everthing and is hard to get out.
