Heres my oil tank, I clear coated it and it dulled the sheen a little though
I saw that motor in person at rausch and it gets 2 thumbs up from me! :p
Do u think if i had like a table top polishing wheel it would be better than doing it by hand.. i used all the way to 2000 grit paper looks really good but i didnt know if there was a high speed polish if it would look better
^^^^^I use a side grinder w/ buffing wheels. Chrome/polishing shops use big nasty stand up polishers.
...on another polishing note, you do not polish steel, it WILL rust.
Yah thats what I was thinkin of the grinder w/ a polishing wheel. Ive seen a few at sears, and i think ima get one. How hard was that to polish the stator and transmission cover? it looks awesome tho. I did my motor mounts and levers and brake fluid cap the other night. This is def. a great topic. Thanks for the info and help.
^^^^^Thats all chrome, I did away w/ polishing years ago. Zero maintenance with chrome. We've been chroming the last couple of quads I've been messing w/. F*ck having to polish everything after every ride. I've been in the game for a long while and the one name you need to know is Jackson Lea. Thats who makes real polishing possible.
with the mothers polish do you rub it in until the black residue shows up on the rag or until it shows up on the metal, because im getting black residue on the rag almost immediately
This is why it is recommended you use the sandpaper first and than do the mothers. U still WILL get the black stuff but wipe it out till its dry and u 'll see
