I just bought an eraser wheel thing made to remove glue and stuff cause I am debadging my car and i was wondering if anyone had ever tried to polish with one.. They are made to take off the glue without messing up the clear coat and paint of the car.. but I was wondering if they'd work to polish up the raw steel or even the plenum i have to polish..

its just a rubber disk, it wont polish metal all it will do is burn its self out.

I could be mean about this but I won't. All I will say is it won't polish a plenum at all, save your money and buy sandpaper :)

so you don't think it will take off the yellowed clear coat on the plenum? I figured I'd ask since I bought one to remove the glue already..

Oh you must have an N/A. Much much easier just to get aircraft stripper, have that yellow stuff in about 10-15 minutes with minimal effort. Of course you will want to remove it from the car. And as far as polishing one, it takes me at least 10+ more hours to do a N/A over a TT.

really? TT's are that much easier?! Ugh.. I painted mine with heat resistant spray paint and it looks pretty good but i thought, hell if it will clean it up i'll try it out.. I also thought about the black sticky crap on the window seals that covers the chrome panels just below the window and if the wheel would take it off..
