refurbishing Porsche Gasburners (magnesium)

Post by passion4 »

Hi,

Got a 5th spare Gasburner that I want to get refurbished and detailed, but because they are forged in magnesium, will I need to go to a specialist to get this done? Tips or recommendations anyone?

Have spoke to Rainbow Polishing and Cecil was a bit warey of doing them, but said he would need to have a look at the wheel first to see if it would 'spark' first before deciding whether or not he would risk it! :(

I am not sure if Alex has an email account. His phone number would be the best way to get hold of him.

Thanks
