Polishing

This really does work, it's worth the time vs buying new a exhaust system

Parts like your brake and clutch levers will polish simply by using mothers or any other mag & aluminum polishing product.

For brushed aluminum parts such as these fmf silencers I've never seen them brushed before till I got this banshee weird eh? You will need to spend alot of time with either 320 or 400 grit sand paper to sand down the brushed material.

Once you have done that, its the same process as above. This is timely though because of how long it takes to sand them down till they are down to being bare.

Silencers finshed, It is possible to do brushed parts, its just a pain in the arse..

For Polish you could also try M*A*A*S. You could find it in Walmart in the house cleaning area where the BRASSO is. This stuff works GREAT!

an easier way to test if a item is aluminum is use a magnet. Aluminum is not magnetic, steel is.


I hate polishing, I would rather spend the 30-40$ to have it done.

my 400ex stock header isnt aluminum and a magnet dont stick eather.

this is how mt motor looked after removing the paint and polishing it. i only used one type of steal wool.

the aluminum parts on a quad are.
motor
rear shock linkage
some sub frames
some upper a-arms
rims
most nerf's
swing arms
shocks (around the eyes)
motor mounts
spendles
most bumpers.
some shifters and break pedals
thumb throtol
aftermarket mufflers
clutch and break levers
bar mounts
after market bars
carb
oil tank
starter
aftermarket skid plates

you can also polish steal but you have to do it constintly or it will start to rust if its steal. polished steal does look good too exspecialy stainles steal

you need to do a lot more sanding on that thing, and get a can of mothers mag&aluminum polish
