Polish aluminum

[PROFLYER]

Pimp Stixxx are the detail tools Dent is probably thinking about. I have a set and they're very useful.

View attachment 45629 I use Mothers Billet Polish. Love that stuff! My bike never sees water. I (Wash) it with Mothers Waterless & Wax spray. Works wonders. In case anyone asks, my K9 is not a garage queen. I ride it a lot. Any suggestions on how to polish a little further in between the fins?

Wow! Not cheap is right, but still not horrible. And it looks like a special goin on with free to ship, box and label included. Might save a few bucks there? Added to the list. Thanks Paul.

Np harry, how are the forks working out?
Also checkout my triple trees that were chromed at sport chrome. This is about 3 years and 14k miles later. The bike also sits outside near the ocean while at work. Their chrome is the quality.

I just bought blingmaster polish works great

 

[Mr. Wright]

Interesting. I found a "how to" on how to use it. A little long, but she worth looking at.

I'm a lot more impressed with Megan holding that sign up for 23:45 than I am the Bling Master. The next time you try buffing your billet aluminum, try it with just a clean buffing wheel, you'll be surprised

Roflmao My thoughts exactly!!!

This will take a lot of the hand work outta polishing. Not to mention the time . I might have posted this before but couldnt find it. I use cotton baby diapers but some have started using flannels. Hope it helps

My first time polishing aluminum I took few lessons from father with the nushine aluminum polish. They use it on the airplanes at Boeing where he used to work. It's incredible. We started out with flanel and a tongue depressor or Popsicle sticks to get in between the fins of engine. When I bought my bike it was poorly kept clean so I decided to sand the entire engine starting low grit working up to 2000 and then finished with a 3000 thin sanding pad(which works better than paper)
I switched from Popsicle sticks to very thin and bendable Stainless Steel strips and put velcro on end and got the sandpaper with velcro on the back. It worked better than Popsicle sticks. I wanted to use a dremel with felt tip attachments but nothing would fit inside the fins, and the dremel put out to many rpms and spun too fast. So I found these tiny dremel like tools they use at nail salons which are adjustable speed and go from 3000 rpm up to 30,000. And found felt tips that were 5mm which fits in between the fins perfectly. I'm waiting for the rest of the felt tips to arrive so I can finish and when I do I'll post the pics. I spent a ridiculous amount of time sanding because there was so much oxidation and the goal from here on out is to keep up on the polishing so It never looks like when I first bought it again. I highly recommend the nushine it took a dull finish to being able to see your face in it. You would want to start at grade C, then A, then finish with S. I found out after all the sanding that more polishing and a higher grade would have taken out all that oxidation. I don't know though because it was bad and pitted so bad. Looking forward to getting it finished. If anyone else has heard or used nushine I'd like to hear if they have been able to find anything that works better.
