    Hi, Can't afford to buy some new cracking cans for my new RSVR. I've managed to get my hands on some old standard cans.
    The look of the cans are not very good. someone has started to polish the seleves and not very good.

    I've taken the cans apart ready to for the insides to be changed but the sleves look crap. not much left in the budget to sort them out.

    Any ideas on how I can sort the selves out cheap as chips ? I was thinking of buying a polishing kit of ebay but knowing what im like it would look rough

    Any ideas would be cracking

    Depends on what they are made of and the nature of the cack.... Will vary from wet and dry to wire wool to auto-sol to washing up liquid!

    Post some piccies.

    go to a metal smiths and pay them to do it, dont get them to put any "polish or wax" on it, just use the cutting compounds, then laquer them with a spray can from Halfords and they will be Uber shiney for aaaaaages....
    all this for cheaper than the cost of a polishing kit :-)
