Tip Polishing Question

I have the kit from Nakidparts. The directions say not to polish the inside of the tips where the holes are. What do you guys do to polish this area. Thanks Mike

It should be black...indicative of a car being used for what it's supposed to be used for.

The only reason you woldn't polish in there is because it is hard if not impossible to get the polish out of the small holes. It may burn and create more of a problem. Don't worry about it. Just wipe that area down with some light cleaner like windex.

Also, the sharp edges on those little holes will shred any polishing device...expensive

I use a rag with some spray detailer in that area, and it cleans up pretty good.

thanks for getting our kit, you can go ahead and do the complete inside just don't use allot of polish as it may get into the holes if you have them
