So it showed up today. Here is a couple short vids and a pic. Stuff works pretty well and pretty quick. Not sure its Mothers quality shine but it is quick for those times that you have very little time.....

It does take some elbow grease. I just did a small spot quick to see if it was worth a hoot. It turns blacker the more you polish just like the Mothers. With the motor out, the Chopper gonna get a good polish. I'll update after some serious work.

I went to Harbour Freight and Northern Tool and purchased 1/4 inch shank polishing attachments for my drill. Works good. Also, bought a flex shaft that will take the 1/4 inch shaft attachments. The bad thing about the flex shafts you have to use them on a low speed and they produce too high RPM's. They have a foot peddle to activate the speed. They do have a screw adjustment to lower the speed. I'm trying to get used to it at a low speed. It allows me to get into tight spaces on the rear wheel where my drill won't go. But I got to say nothing beats a hand job. I haven't found a good way to polish the fins on the jugs. It's just a time and tedious task but I have spent many days doing it.

I just polished every fin on jugs & heads on my chopper.. I tried the videos way & I liked the drilled/ with rotating sanding wheels. Also the fins are not all polished inside you have to sand them down. Pics in my top end rebuild thread.

Mothers web site has 30% off with discount code and free shipping for orders over $39. I bought 2 containers of Mothers Ultimate 2 X $29.99 = $59.98 less 30% discount -$18 = $41.98

Obviously something to think about having a good supply of. I think I will do the same.
