Story of my life. on the floor AGAIN !! Loser gets to mop the floor in the shop, take out the trash, wash the truck, rake the yard, grade the lane, and anything else Shannon needs done, so he can relax for a while..

Knows some things
Inside first, then the outside. I've been talking to guys that knew the guy that had my bike, plus figuring out about how many miles I've put on it. I'm on my 6th rear tire in 5 years. It didn't come with a speedometer, nor have I had one on it. Roughly figuring, it has between 75000 to 90000 miles on it.

For once, I'm glad I don't know anything about polishing. (Cant even shine my boots right) but when You and Kevin get going, I'll carry the water bucket and towels OKAY seriously, in that "before" pic of the wheel, is that some kind of jig to hold parts while ya work on them ? And do you use air tools, or electric, or both ?

Well then, they can flip a coin and decide. Heads, Kevin gets the right side and Mike gets the left, or vice a verse. They can knock your motor out real quick and still have time for Shannons !!Hey!

Can ya just see it now ?? A whole bunch of crazies hanging around Shannon's shop? Like Ker says, " how cool is that?" Besides the fact he could probably use a hand after that little bit of rain he had down his way .Well as long as it Shannon's.... I guess I can take a back seat.

To be fair I think we're talking about two different techniques both with amazing results. One pull everything apart for machine polishing the other take nothing apart and polish by hand that anybody can do.

It is still a smooth surface to start with rubbing by hand is different from polishing cast

OK what are you guys using to get things this shiny!?!? I actually just picked up some mother's BILLET finally which is pretty amazing...my issue is I have some spiderweb type light scratches I kinda need to work out first. I read about some 0000 steel wool and WD-40? Or wet sand with what grit? I mean seriously @dentdude36 your bikes are insane shiny. I'm glad I never did a chrome kit as the few chrome parts I have look like crap. I assume the billet can be repaired then polished??
