how longs the polish last on your bike??
Why don't you just get it powdered?

Why would I want my bike to be all colors? I think having polished parts is alot better then a bunch of colors..

I do my whole bike (nerfs and rims) about once a year. The rims look good for a long time while the nerfs get all scuffed up in no time.

go to caswellplating .com and theres a spray called dht clear coat it cures in oven 15 minuts at 350 and protects all polishing can be done in regular oven or if engine polishing will cure itself over time . good luck cause if you dont clear then youll be polishing your life away lol.

You sure can, go to wal-mart and pick up mothers or black magic and get some old shirts/rags and polish it up
