Bought one of the polishing kits from these people
http://www.metalpolishingsupplies.co.uk/
It includes all the different compound bars for different metals, plus some scotchbright wheels, for removing the worse rust and old paint & a Mandrel for attaching to an electric drill which is clamped into a vice
The exhaust took around 3 hours, but could still do with some more work

VERY RESPECTABLE........

Do you have a special pocket to carry your side stand pad?

Dirty · 02-06-2014, 09:38 PM

Is that the winning entrant in this years 'biggest side stand puck' contest I see there?

It's looking good. You could have polished the hugger bolts and rose joints though

I already have

I was going to spray part of the tank black, but only because it has some bad scratches
