Hot sauce will remove corrosion. What you want to do here it get the surface smooth, on a microscopic level. That's why you need a mild abrasive. Toothpaste will work, but I would imagine that you'd be rubbing for quite a while.

Mine's already polished, so I can't experiment now, so someone try this for me. Go over it with steel wool first, then finish with the toothpaste. Let me know how that works. I'm curious.

Oh yeh, and I'd imagine any brand could work, but I assume you'd need a paste, and not a gel.

any paste will work. i learned this from polishing amber at spring fest(event at purdue(a university)). we used sand paper then steel wool then tooth paste and denum. works great for amber, but i dont know about metal. i finished mine by finally getting the dremal out and using the metal fiber disk(best i can describe it). the heat sink kinda looks like a very shiny brushed metal.

The wire wheel will get it that brushed look, I tried it on a small part, but if you want that polished look you gonna need the polishing wheels, and red polishing compoud. Sears sells a polishing kit that comes with polishing wheels, buffing wheels, a shaft, polishing compound, and I think there's a couple wire wheels in there too. I think it was something like 6 or 7 bucks. I dunno, got it a while ago. Time for a new one.

your motor would run cooler without the metal heatsink because more air will get to it. Its not like in a pc, its not stationary.

That just silly. A polished heatsink just looks cool. It will not improve the performance of your car in any way what-so-ever over an un-polished one.

Come on guys, let's use a little common sense here.

what if i put a little artic silver 3 to help the heat transfer? i know i really dont need it but it would help cooling if that means anything. oh yeah on computer heatsinks a polished/lapped heat sink does help transfer heat (makes a better conection) but i dont think you would knowtice it becuase the xmods motors dont generate the extreme temps a cpu would

{for those of you who dont know artic silver 3 is a thermal past used to help the heat transfer between computer processors and heat sinks}
